Our 2022 Cross Country is happening at the end of week 2, term 2. We are asking the children to take part in the Papanui Run Challenge. We will be training at school next term but you might like to support your child to start training over the holidays.

The Challenge

Next week, the children will set a distance/laps goal to achieve by the end of week 2, term 2 in preparation for our Cross Country. They will run around the track every day leading up to the event to reach their goal. Our aim is to get children more active more often.

The children will bring home a Run Challenge sponsorship book next week. Please support them with connecting with family, friends and the local community to gain support for their effort at school.

Fundraising will go towards our Healthy Active Learning programme  e.g. sports equipment, swimming etc.

Pending Covid restrictions, parents will be welcome to come along and support their children on the day. We will notify you of race times early next term. 

We will be holding both Year group competitive races and also a "Fun Run" option to cater for all abilities and enthusiasm levels. 

Thank you for your support in keeping our tamariki active and involved.
