OHR SPORTS DAY 2026

Our House Sports Carnival is being held next Thursday 2nd April at the Box Hill Aths Track from 9.15am - approx 12.30pm. The children compete in house colours with sprints, relays, ball games and house chants. There is even a parents, toddlers and teachers race!! 

The children will travel to and from the track by bus.

If any parents could help with the set up of our tents could you please be at the track by 9.00am or email me jgolds@ohrsurreyhills.catholic.edu.au.

The children have been training during P.E/FITNESS lessons and we can’t wait to show everyone what we are made of.

Lock it in for a great morning.

 

HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY

Cross country training for students should focus on fun, building endurance through consistent, light running, and focussing on proper form to prevent injury. At OHR we learn about soft shoulders, robot arms and eyes up. Fun training at the park could include warm-ups, games, short interval workouts, and simple strength exercises.

A great activity over the School Holidays .. Happy Running!!

Age-Appropriate Focus :-)

Primary Students: Focus heavily on games, relays, and building stamina through varied activities.
