Saints Peter and Paul Cross Country Carnival and Athletics Carnival (Yes you read that correctly)
Friday 20^th November (Week 6)

It may sound crazy, but we’ve looked at the weather and it’s saying it’s going to be a beautiful day next Friday, so we thought we should strike while the iron’s hot and make next Friday a combined Cross Country and Athletics Carnival.

We’ll have our Cross Country Carnival in the morning and then participate in some Athletics activities for the rest of the day.

In relation to Cross Country, as previously mentioned, we are encouraging all students to wear their house colour shirt with their sport uniform. I will be meeting any interested students up on the oval next Monday and Thursday (16^th and 19^th November) at 8.40am for a bit of a practise run. It won’t be the full course, but something is always better than nothing! The rough distances for each age group are included below.

5, 6 and 7 years (1 shorter lap)

8 years 1000m (1 big lap)

9 and 10 years 1500m/200m (2 big laps)

11 and 12 years 3000m (3 big laps)

After Lunch, the students will rotate through a variety of athletics activities with their class including: a 70m race, field events, relays, tug of war, parachute, ball games and some other novelty events.

Unfortunately, due to current restrictions in place, we will be unable to have any parents in attendance next Friday.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about any of this information. mary.desmet@cg.catholic.edu.au
