House Fun Run Lap-a-thon

Our Annual House Fun Run is fast approaching!

Date: Wednesday, 2nd April

Location: MPHPS Oval

Event Purpose:The aim of the House Fun Run Carnival is for students to showcase their personal best and perseverance by completing as many laps as they can on the fun run course. After each lap, students will receive an icy pole stick in their house team’s colour, this will help us tally the total runs completed per house.

At the end of the race, students will place their sticks in the designated house-coloured box. The total number of sticks for each house will determine the winner of the Fun Run Cup!

When:

• Senior Carnival (Years 3, 4, 5, and 6): 9:00am 
• Junior Carnival (F, 1, and 2): 11:40 am

What to wear: Students can come dressed in their house colours or house t-shirt. Optional face paint and hairspray can be done at home.

Spectators: Spectators are very welcome! 

Please enjoy the event from the designated spectator area and a reminder if taking photos, that it is of your child only.

Bike safety

We love to see so many students riding their bikes to school and seeking active transport to get to school. A reminder to walk bikes and scooters in and out of the school grounds and to ensure that all students who are riding bikes or scooters where a helmet which is properly secured.
