Cross Country Preparation
As you would be aware all students in their PE lesson have been undertaking the 20m multistage fitness test, commonly referred to as the Beep Test’. All classes have completed this and a grade average has been calculated for everyone. Those above the grade average will run in the championship run, those below the fun run. Both runs take place over the same course, both have ribbons for place getters. To view your child’s event please select the following link;
2022 Class Listing- what event am I in ?
You will see that I have also listed their entrant number, this needs to be written on their arm on race day so we can separate age groups in the computer as we have different age groups running against each other in the same grade. It is important that your child knows their entrant number as that is how results are generated when they cross the finish line.
Our new venue is Tunks Park Cammeray with the carnival taking place Tuesday 8 March. A fly over of the course can be viewed here. If you can manage to get down to Tunks park for a walk or run before the event that always settles nerves on race day. Parents and or carers are welcome to join us on this day but must remain off the course. You will receive a detailed information package about the event on Friday.

2022 Term 1 Sport Calendar
For an outline and timeline of all our sporting events in Term 1 our Junior School Sport calendar can be viewed by selecting here.
Please check these as there have been a few changes to teams over the last few days. Students have been told it is their responsibility to check the team lists, see if there any team changes that affect them and then cross check new times in the draw. That way it avoids students being moved teams turning up at the incorrect time and or venue.
Winter Sport Selection
Thank you to those families who completed their Winter Sport Preference last Friday. All the students have been sorted into their nominated sports and can be viewed below. If you are happy with your selection there is nothing else to do. If you wish to change sports please email Junior Sport with the change (name and class of your child and the sport they want to come out from and the new sport they wish to enter into). Please note there are no changes to any sports, as advertised the cut-off date for changes was Friday 18 February.
