Date: Friday 24 March

Time: 9am – 11.15 am

Venue: Crookwell Showground

This year, students will meet at the Crookwell Showground for the school cross country carnival. Buses will be instructed to drop students at the showground instead of at school.

At the conclusion of the carnival, students will walk back to school with their teachers.

Distances for the day:

Under 5, 6 and 7’s: 600m

Under 8’s: 1km

Under 9 and 10’s: 2km

Under 11 and 12’s: 3km

There is a 500m track set up on the bottom playground and students have begun practising.

I have attached the Program for the morning with approximate times of events.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO TUCKSHOP ON THE DAY. Students will need to bring a packed lunch, a water bottle and a hat in their school bags. They will carry their bags with them back to school. It is advised that students arrive with sunscreen on, however, sunscreen will be provided.

Only Under 9’s – 12’s are able to progress to the next carnival. The first 6 will qualify for the Northern Region Carnival. Under 8’s are only able to qualify if they race up with the Under 9’s and place in the 2km event. Please contact me if you would like your child to do this.

St Mary's will host the Northern Region Carnival on Friday 12 May.
