We have three schools that have accepted our invitation to race our juniors in a cross country event on 1 June 2012. The races will be for year 1- 3 children who will race the same distances as in our school cross country event.
30 year 3 students will be joining us from St Benedicts. The top 5 cross country runners from each age group will be joining us from Johnsonville Primary and about 20 junior students will come from Crofton Downs School.
We decided to organise this because we are aware that junior students do not have as much opportunity to compete in school-based sports as older students in Wellington. It is also a good opportunity to build relationships with neighbouring schools. Some schools, such as Churton Park School, have other committments on that day and so are unable to attend.
The event will begin with a walk around the course at 11.30am. The first race will begin soon after that and all races should be finished by 1pm.
The races will be run in the following order:
Year 1 girls - 500m
Year 1 boys - 500m
Year 2 girls - 500m
Year 2 boys - 500m
Year 3 girls - 1000m
Year 3 boys - 1000m
Please note, as soon as one race is finished, we will begin the next race.
Any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact Lesley or Gail.
