This Friday from 12:30. Competitive races first, lunch and then the Challenge 8 & 10. Wear your house colours and suitable running shoes!! Whānau are most welcome to come along.

All the children are to wear their house colours on Friday please. No headbands as they get caught in the cargo net. Any medication needed by your child on the day should be at the school office. 

The afternoon will start at 12:30 with the competitive cross country races for Years 5-8 in which our school team will be chosen for the Zone Cross Country.  Your child can opt into this but it is not compulsory.  Year 5-6 is 3 laps (approx. 2km) around the whole school and Year 7/8 is 4 laps (approx. 3km)

Challenge 8 & 10 - This is a fun event where the whole school participates in their house colours. It is a series of obstacles around the field that the children go over, under, through.  Each time they pass their house colour flag they put a coloured stick in the box which goes towards a final total for the day.
