Whole School Cross Country

Our Whole School Cross Country is scheduled for next Thursday, March 6, from approximately 9.10am to recess. All students will compete in our Whole School Cross Country, with Years F-2 running laps of our school oval and Years 3-6 competing in 2km and 3km courses near the school. The Year 3-6 course will be different from previous years due to building works occurring on our former track. The new course location is currently being finalised. Parents will be advised of the new course location via Compass prior to the event. 

Children who are in Year 3-6 who turn 8, 9 or 10 years old in 2023 will run a 2km course and children who turn 11, 12 and 13 years old in 2023 will run a 3km course. Preps will run two laps of the oval and Year 1 and 2 will run four laps of the oval.

Spectators are welcome at this event. The Prep to Year 2 races will be held on the WPS Oval and spectators are welcome to cheer on students from behind the school boundary fence (outside the school), along the footpath near the oval. 

The focus of the Cross Country is fun, fitness and building a strong school community and House Team spirit. For students in Years 3 – 6 it is also the selection trial for our District Cross Country, which will be held at Hanging Rock on May 6.

Year 4-6 House Athletics/Athletics Trials Day 

The House Athletics/Athletics Trials Day for Year 4-6 students is scheduled to take place at the Kyneton Showgrounds on Tuesday, March 25. The day is a chance for students to showcase the Athletics skills they have been learning this term, earn House Points for their House and to try out for a place on our District Athletics Team, while having a lot of fun in the process!

We need A LOT of parent/school community members to help run events on the day. Please consider offering your help at this fun event. More details including a sign-up form will be sent via email to Year 4-6 parents/carers soon.
