St Margaret Mary’s School Cross Country Carnival
On Friday, 21st March we will hold our cross country at school for students in years 3 - 6. Our cross country will begin at 9am and conclude at 11am. Parents are most welcome to attend and cheer on our students as they compete. All parents are asked to remain in the silver seat area (same area as morning assembly) to cheer on the students.
The following table explains the qualifying time for each age group:
QUALIFYING CRITERIA | AGE GROUP | GENDER | DISTANCE | QUALIFYING TIME |
8/9 Years combined | Boys | 2km | Completed within 12 minutes | |
8/9 Years combined | Girls | 2km | Completed within 13 minutes | |
10 Years | Boys | 2km | Completed within 12 minutes | |
10 Years | Girls | 2km | Completed within 13 minutes | |

12/13 Years combined | Boys | 3km | Completed within 18 minutes | |
12/13 Years combined | Girls | 3km | Completed within 19 minutes |
Qualifying times exist and are to be used as a guide for schools to ensure each student attending can run their age group distance without walking at any stage.
