Cross Country Carnival – 2nd May 2019
On Thursday 2nd May, students from Kinder to Grade 6 will be participating in the school Cross Country Carnival at Glen Huon Primary School. Students will have the opportunity to earn house points for entering the race. The Cross Country Carnival is part of the school’s PE program and as such participation is expected. If your child is unable to compete in the Carnival please let the school office know and they will be assigned a job.
The Carnival will begin at approximately 11:15am and will be completed by 1:30pm. A program of events has been included on the back of this letter for your reference.
Cross Country is a winter sport and as such the carnival will take place regardless of weather unless conditions are deemed unsafe for competitors. In the event of rain students will complete the races and then return back to their warm classrooms. A change of clothes is essential.
Please ensure your child has the following items;
- A warm waterproof coat/jacket and suitable running shoes
- Towel/facewasher to wash mud off
- Healthy lunch with plenty of water
- Any medication required
If you are intending to attend the carnival and are happy to help out on the day and be assigned a specific job please let me know via email declan.west@education.tas.gov.au or by contacting the school office.
