House Cross Country
Kalinda’s House Cross Country will be held on Monday the 26th of April (weather permitting, and it is looking great!)
PLEASE ensure your student is ready, with a drink bottle, a full lunch, appropriate shoes and a smile. They will also need any regular medication for hayfever, allergies or exercise induced asthma. We encourage students to wear something of their house colour and if you are unsure of your house, look on Compass, under your students profile.
CHISHOLM is red
McCUBBIN is green
MELBA is yellow
PARKES is blue
All students will participate in a long-distance running race while representing their house team. Family support is most appreciated as we encourage all students to get involved. Students are encouraged to come dressed in their ‘house’ colours ensuring appropriateness for participation in physical activity.
The house colours are Chisholm (Red), McCubbin (Green), Melba (Yellow) and Parkes (Blue). If students, choose not to attend in ‘house’ colours they need to attend in school uniform.
The event program and distances are as follows
9:20am - Foundation Girls - 2 laps of the oval
9:30am - Foundation Boys - 2 laps of the oval
9:40am - 11 Year Old Girls & Boys - 3 laps of the 1km course

Please note times are approximate and subject to slight change. Parents are welcome to come and cheer the students on, please just ensure you social distance where possible.
Help needed!!! If you're able to assist on the day please send an email to jswingler@kalinda.vic.edu.au Your role would be providing encouragement and direction (literally!). You must have a current Working with Children Check and signed the Kalinda Child Safety Code of Conduct.
Thanks in advance to those who can help, events like this couldn’t run successfully without your generous support.
