Get ready for our 2026 House Fun Run/Lap-a-thon Event!
The House Fun Run Carnival is fast approaching! This event encourages our students to demonstrate their personal best and perseverance by completing as many laps of the course as possible.
After each lap, students will receive an icy pole stick in their house colour. At the end of their run, students will place their sticks into their house-coloured box. The total number of sticks collected will determine the winner of the 2026 House Fun Run Cup!
Date: Wednesday, 25th March
Location: MPHPS Oval
Event Times:
- Years 3–6: 9:00am
- Foundation–Year 2: 11:30am
Cross Country Selection (Years 4–6 only):
Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 will be competing within their age groups and may use this event as an opportunity to trial for the school cross country team!
Students who make our team will be expected to run the following distances:
- 9–10-year-olds: 2km course
11,12, 13-year-olds: 3km course
