SPL Cross Country - Friday 19 May
St. Patrick’s Cross Country will take place on Friday 19th May for all students in Prep to Year 6. We would love for all parents to come along and spectate!
Assembly will be at 9:00 am instead of 2:00 pm to accommodate the cross country.
The course will be conducted at St.Patrick’s, with students commencing on the adjoining council land and finishing on the school oval. Prep will commence and finish on St Patrick’s Oval. Each year level will complete a specially designed course of varied lengths for their year level group. Families may spectate from the St Patrick's Oval.
Students will be running along the edge of the cricket nets and turning circle at the end of Noone St. We ask that no family members park along the nets or on the grass around the turning circle. There will be witches hats placed along these areas. See the image below that shows in orange where the students will be running.
Please ensure that on the day your child wears their P.E. uniform. A house-coloured shirt can be worn in place of the P.E. Shirt. Students should bring the following: A full water bottle, jacket/rugby top, and suitable running shoes.
Parents are welcome to take their child/children when their race is completed, but we ask that you advise their class teacher.
