Cross Country
Due to the recent weather conditions we have decided to hold our annual cross country at St Kevin’s College this year on Tuesday 8th August. The races will begin later in the morning than on previous years and therefore everyone is to come to school first. The whole school will be travelling out by buses at 10.30 am.
Below is a timetable of approximate times for each race. Children will run in their year level not age groups as in previous years.
Yr 8 12.00 am
Yr 7 11.50 am
Yr 6 11.40 am
Yr 5 11.30 am
Yr 4 11.20 am
Yr 3 11.10 am
Yr 2 & 1 11.00 am
Once the children have finished their race, they will be transported back to school in instalments.
Children are to wear their PE gear to school and bring with them warm trousers (navy or black), school jersey or jacket, sport shoes and a drink bottle. Any children with asthma or allergies are to make sure they have with them any medications required and hand them to their class teacher.
In order for this event to run safely Olivia Pope require lots of parents to help out as marshals. Please email her at sport@stjoseph.school.nz or let the office know if you can help. We also require a number of picnic rugs and tarpaulins for the students to sit on, so please drop them to your class teacher if you have any.
The postponement date has changed and you will be notified next week. Children qualifying for North Otago Cross Country on Monday 21st August will be given a note home.
