School Cross country
The annual Year 2-6 School Cross Country Carnival will be on Tuesday 9 April on the bottom fields at the Inverell Sports Complex. It will be for Years 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (Year 2 will be non-competitive and compete as a year group rather than in ages). The starting time is approximately 9:30am. Students will travel to the Complex by bus which is provided by the school and compete in their age groups. Distances are 1km (Year 2), 2km (8, 9 & 10 years) and 3km (11 & 12 years). Families are most welcome to come and spectate. Students are to wear their full school sports uniform. Year 3, 4, 5, & 6 students may wear house colour T-shirts on the day (Johns – yellow, Marks – red, Pauls – blue, Leos – green). Regardless of top, students in Years 3 -6 are to wear their school sports shorts. Children should bring their hat, sunscreen and water bottle. If your child suffers from asthma they should bring their own Ventolin. Events will begin with the 12\13 year old boys and girls, 10 years Boys and Girls, Year 2, 11 years Boys and Girls and 8/9 Years Boys and Girls. No exact start times can be given. Any students from Year 3-6 who come in the top 6 placings of their age group are eligible to go to the Diocesan Cross Country in Barraba next term on Friday 17 May.
