CROSS COUNTRY
Our whole school Cross Country will be held on Friday 28th February 2020.
Middle and Senior students will start at 9.45am running a 1km loop around the Shell Road Sports Precinct. Junior Students will begin at 10.15am and run laps inside the Shell Rd Oval.
Middle and Senior students will run in age groups. The age groupings are based on the age they turn this year. Students will choose to run the competition distance of 2km (9/10 age group) or 3km (11 and 12/13 age group) or choose the shorter distance of 1km. The competition distance allows students to potentially progress through to the District Schools competition held in March. Teachers will speak to the students about choosing the best distance and their age groupings and they will all have the opportunity to walk/run the distance prior to race day.
