CROSS COUNTRY

Unfortunately we had to postpone today's event due to the soggy conditions underfoot. If we get some decent weather over the weekend we may be able to hold our event on Wednesday next week. We will make that decision on Monday and let parents know. 

The event will not be compulsory for all but we do encourage all the children to participate in some way -- whether walking, running, skipping and hopping the course -- if you now what I mean.

Our Infants are invited to complete a 500m course, our 8 - 10yr olds will complete a 2km course and our 11 & 12 year olds will complete a 3km course.  The top 2 of those that can complete the whole course running all the way and be under the Diocesan qualifying times will be invited to represent the school at the Diocesan event.

Let's cross our fingers for some fine weather over the coming days,

AWESOME GEMMA!! 

For those that missed it, Gemma M represented the school and Diocese at the Polding Championships last Monday in Sydney. In a very impressive time of 40.64, she blitzed her heat of the 50m Freestyle and finished 9th overall. Well done Gemma -- we are very proud of you.
