Cross Country/Fun Run

A whole school student fundraising event for Physical Education/Sport is going to take place on Thursday 18th March.

A Fitness Fun Run has been organised for the students in Foundation – 2. The students in grades F – 2 will compete in their grades on the day. Grades will be allowed a 30 minute time slot to complete as many 110m laps as possible around the oval. Their results will be added to the house points from the Grade 3 – 6 Cross Country Run to determine the winning House. The students in Year 3 – 6 will be competing in the house Cross Country to be held at Stiggants Reserve and from these results our District Cross Country team will be selected. The students participating in these activities can be sponsored for laps/kilometre completed or a donation given, please find the sponsor sheet attached to this notice. In previous years this money has been put towards Physical Education equipment, sport uniforms, post padding, resurfacing the old multi floor, new house banners and in 2019 our long jump pit. This year we are raising money to have the lines on our playing surfaces re-done.
