In week 6 of Term 2, Lathlain Primary School will be holding its annual Cross Country running event for students in Years 3 – 6. The proposed track will, at stages, go outside of the school grounds and onto the school perimeter. Teachers and parents will be assisting to monitor and ensure the safety of students at all times.
Students will be required to cover the following distance:
Year 6 1.9 kilometres
Year 5 1.7 kilometres
Year 4 1.4 kilometres
Year 3 1.2 kilometres
The Cross Country event will take place on Friday 24 May at the following times:
Year 3/4 8.50am – 9.35am
Year 5/6 9.40am – 10.40am
A reserve date in case of wet weather has been set aside. (Wednesday 29 May).
Please note, these are approximate times only, and in the event of inclement weather, races may be brought forward or delayed to accommodate students.
From these races, the winning student from each year, boy and girl, will be crowned as the school cross country champion, with the top 5 place getters from each race able to represent the school at the Interschool Cross Country event in Term 3.
It is hoped that all students will participate in the cross country to run/walk the distance. This year, students are expected to at least attempt the race which is part of the Physical Education curriculum.
The form below only needs to be completed if you are willing to be a Parent Volunteer
and/or
Your child WILL NOT be participating in the Cross Country.
