Before School Running Club 2025

Dear Parents/Guardian and Athletes,

Our Before School Running trainings is commencing on Friday 14th February with our new family coaches, Jen Fuller, Laura McGeoch, Mike Blling and Shona Rudland. Thanks to our families who have volunteered to step up and help keep this worthwhile program “running”! The baton continues to get passed by our willing volunteers, which is awesome for our BPS kids!!! Thank you!

We are ready to start our Before School Running and start preparing our runners for our House Cross Country this term. This training is for anyone in grade 1 – 6 who loves to run and are committed to doing their best and respecting the coaches at our sessions. A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers for putting their hand up to keep this terrific initiative running for our students.

Our BSR program is a free program designed to get our kids active before school as well as preparing them for up-coming school events including cross country, athletics and House Sports etc.

The BSR would like to communicate to all families and children who would like to be involved the Training Code of Conduct, which is an expectation for all runners who attend.

Our BSR Club training is not a before school care service and our volunteers reserve the right to ask a child/family not to come back should they consistently not follow the following code of behaviour.

Code of Conduct for BSR

Please respect all volunteers and listen to their instructions.
Please respect other runners and their desire to want to train – “You come, you run” motto.
Please turn up for training on time and not earlier than 8.10am.
Asthmatics must bring their asthma medication to training to avoid medical issues.
ANY medical conditions need to be clearly outlined on the permission form and students must bring relevant medications to training, for example, asthma medication and Epipens.
Students must sign in to every training session they attend.
If a child is observed not participating (including playing on equipment or wandering off) over a series of sessions, the family will be contacted about their child’s future participation.

BSR suggests athletes also bring…

A piece of fruit or healthy snack to eat post training before going into class.
Your drink bottle.
A jumper in the winter months.
A change of socks if the weather looks wet.

Parents/caregivers must sign the letter below and hand it to one of the volunteers on the commencement of your child’s first training session.
