CROSS COUNTRY

Our annual cross-country event is to be held on Term 3, Week 2, Wednesday 29th July  (postponement date Thursday 30th July -  please check Hero notifications if the weather looks doubtful)

Venue: North Ground (Alhambra Union rugby grounds, situated between Great King St and Cumberland St.)

The first groups of runners start at 10:30am.  We will be leaving school at 10:00 am so will have an early morning tea and late lunch on that day.  

Parents and friends are most welcome to stand around the course and cheer for the children. There is also a space inside the course, near the finish line, opposite where the children are assembled. There isn’t a lot of parking available in this area so you are very welcome to walk from the school with us. 

Course:

• Year 1 & 2: one lap around the outer course (tree line, marked with coloured markers) and through the finishing chute.

• Year 3 & 4: two laps around the outer course (tree line, marked with coloured markers) and through the finishing chute.

• Year 5 & 6: three laps around the outer course and through the finishing chute.
