CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING AND TRIALS (YEARS 3-6) Friday 29th April 

Cross Country training is well and truly on the way at SMPPS. Cross Country trials will take place in term 2 around one of the ovals near our school. Your child will represent their House during the event and will earn house points towards the House Cup. The date for the trials is week 1 of term 2 - (weather permitting) on Friday 29th April. The students have all set personal running goals in PE that they would like to achieve. The school holidays are a great time for them to continue their training and get closer to achieving their goals. Please encourage and support your child to continue practising over the holidays

The distance for each age group is:

• 8/9/10 year olds - 2km
• 11/12/13 year olds 3km

Successful boys and girls from each age group are eligible to go onto the Southport District Cross Country event held on Friday the 20th May at Murphy’s Reserve. A notice will be posted on COMPASS closer to the date with further information about this event.

Students aged or turning 9 in 2022 will have the option of joining a fun run or the trial race. Winners of the 8-9 year old race are not eligible to progress to the District Finals.
