On Friday, 25 July, our annual Cross-Country will be run at school. We will be following a special timetable for the day. The Inter-house Cross-Country will commence after first break. For the benefit of our new families, all our learners are divided into “Houses” for extramural and academic purposes. The Houses are Gemini (Yellow), Aquarius (Blue), Capricorn (Green) and Scorpio (Red).

All learners will be able to compete in this exciting event for their House. Learners may come to school dressed in the official tracksuit (wearing their Cross-Country kit, sports socks, running shoes, or blue shorts and house coloured t-shirt.) It is strongly recommended that each child have their own water bottle and sunscreen. Alternately, children may wear the normal winter school uniform and carry their Cross-Country kit in a tog bag. Please apply sunscreen to your children for the day. Children who suffer with asthma or wheezing etc, must bring their medication to school. Please inform the class teacher in writing if your child is ill and unable to participate, as this is a compulsory event.

Although the races (Gr R) will commence from approximately 09:50, we remind Moms and Dads that some of our Grade 1 to 3 learners may be a little delayed after school, to give us time to finish this event. Foundation Phase parents (including Grade R) are kindly reminded that the Cross-Country course passes through your collection areas and senior learners may still be running their races when you come to collect your child.

Please be mindful of these athletes. Parents who can come and support their children are more than welcome to join us.
