As we have had so many events cancelled this year, we are going to hold our school cross country on the afternoon of Thursday 21 October (the day before the start of the four day Labour weekend).
Times are:
12:00 – 12:25 EARLY LUNCH FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL
12:30 Kōwhai syndicate races (all classes assemble on the field)
12:30 – New Entrant races
12:40 – Year 1 races
12:55 – Year 2 races
1:10 Pohutukawa syndicate races (all classes assemble on the field)
1:10 Year 3 races
1:30 Year 4 races
1:50 Tōtara syndicate races (all classes assemble on the field)
1:50 – Year 5 races
2:10 – Year 6 races
Some other info for you:
• the children will be able to wear their House colours for the day and we will sit in House Groups when their ‘Mini Cross Country’ is on
• the children can run in shoes or bare feet
* Parents can watch from the footpath on Gloucester Street or Osier Road. We ask that you do not come into the school grounds, unless you care coming to collect your child at the end of their run
* Children will be free to depart school with parents once their race has been completed. They can be met at the collection areas marked by orange cones by the dental clinic and 'Mud Tree'!
If you have more than one child racing and they are of different ages, then they can be collected at the end of the race of the eldest child. The older child will go and collect their sibling from their room.
If children do not get picked up early they will be released at the end of the school day as per normal ...
The weather forecast looks good too!
