School Cross Country

The cross country is a compulsory school event.

Date: Friday 22 March

Time: 9am – 11.15 am

Students will meet at the Crookwell Showground. 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.

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

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 can 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.

The Northern Region Cross Country carnival will be hosted by Braidwood on 3rd May.
