At
2.00pm the Junior and Middle school will join us for the Sprint finals and
Inter-house relays to finish off the day.
On
Tuesday 8th November Yr’s 5-8 will be running the Long Distance
event from our annual athletics programme.
Please
make sure your child is prepared for the event by wearing appropriate clothing
including footwear, a water bottle, sun-hats and sunscreen.
As
always Parents/Caregivers are welcome to come along and support the students in
their endeavours as they try and earn points for their House and gain
qualification for the Zones.
Looking forward to
seeing you there,
Murray Fox
Sports Committee Co-ordinator.
