School Cross Country

The annual Year 2-6 School Cross Country Carnival will now be held on Wednesday 27 April. This event will be held 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). Students will travel to the Complex by bus which is provided by the school. Distances are 1km (Year 2), 2km (8, 9 & 10 years) and 3km (11 & 12 years). Families are most welcome to watch but will be in a separate area to the children. 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. The 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, then Year 2, 10 years Boys and Girls, 11 years Boys and Girls and 8/9 Years Boys and Girls. No exact start times can be given. If your child cannot participate due to medical reasons, then they must bring in a note to their classroom teacher. If you choose to take your child after the Cross Country has been completed, please make sure you let your classroom teacher know and they have their name marked off.
