YEAR 3- 6 HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY TRIALS

The Year 3-6 House Cross Country will take place TOMORROW,  April 23. This is a compulsory part of the Physical Education program for ALL year 3-6 students. The event will take place on the school grounds and children should wear their school sports uniform with a t shirt in their house colour (Penola - Green, Fitzroy - Red, Portland - Blue, Eden - Yellow)

Children will run the following distances:

• Year 3       - 1.4 km  (2 laps of 700m course)
• Year 4       - 2.1 km  (3 laps of 700m course)
• Year 5 & 6 - 2.8 km (4 laps of 700m course)

Year 4-6 children who finish in the top 8 in their race will qualify for the school Cross Country team and compete in the Berwick District Cross Country Carnival on May 4 at Sweeney Reserve.  Generally Year 3’s do not compete at District level, but if any students show outstanding results, they may be invited to be part of the team as practice for next year.

If any students are unable to compete due to an injury or medical condition, please email your child’s class teacher before the event. Otherwise all children are expected to participate to the best of their ability.
