Saints Peter and Paul Cross Country Carnival this Friday 23^rd April (Term Two, Week 1)
at Eddison Park Woden

Students in Years 2-6 will be leaving school at 9:15am and travelling by foot to Eddison Park. Students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will be leaving school at 9.50am. All students will return to school at 11am. (Please note that these are approximate times.) As this is considered a local area excursion, permission notes are not required for children to participate.

Please find information below in relation to the time and approximate distance your child/ren will be running on the day.

Due to current COVID restrictions, we kindly ask all parents attending the carnival in any capacity to use the Saints Peter and Paul Check in Canberra App QR code on the day, which will be located near the recording table, (sign in and out sheets will also be found here if you do not have a smartphone) and observe the 1.5m social distancing measures currently in place.

On the day, children may wear a house colour t-shirt instead of their school sport shirt if they would like. (If you’re not sure what your child’s house colour is, please ask their teacher. The houses and colours they represent are; Red – Cooyal, Yellow – Bangalong, Green – Iraga and Blue – Talara.)

Children will need to apply sunscreen before coming to school and bring their hat and drink bottle with them to Eddison Park. If your child/ren would like to make posters and bring mascots to support their house, they are most welcome to. However, we kindly ask that no crepe paper, streamers or glitter be used when creating these.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NORMAL CANTEEN MENU WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THIS DAY, NOT A SPECIAL LUNCH AS WAS WRITTEN IN THE NOTE SENT OUT ON SZAPP. Please accept my apologies for this error.

Thank you so much to all of the parents who have let me know that they are able to help out on the day. You should receive an email from me today in relation to this and we look forward to seeing you at Eddison Park on Friday.

Holding this carnival enables us to select students to represent our school at the South/Weston Region Cross Country Carnival on Wednesday 2^nd June. Students who are turning 8 and over this year may be considered for representative selection. Information in relation to parents/spectators attending the regional carnival will be shared with you when it becomes available to us.

We’re looking forward to a cracking day of running together to end the week. I have been watching the weather forecast closely after the rescheduling that occurred last year and I am pleased to say that it looks like it’s going to be a fantastic day.

If you think your child may qualify for the South/Weston Region Cross Country Carnival, please have a look at the information below.

South/Weston Region Cross Country Carnival Wednesday 2^nd June
