MERUKA CUP: P-2 LAPATHON
On Wednesday 20th November, all Prep to Year 2 students will participate in the Meruka Cup Lapathon Challenge, organised by the House and Sport Captains.
Throughout one session during the day, students will complete as many laps of the TigerTurf as they can, choosing to walk, jog, or run – every lap counts towards earning points for their house!
On the day, students are encouraged to wear their house tops or house colours to show off their team spirit.
