Lets hope we can continue our success. Do you want to increase your weekly exercise level? Come and join us on Wednesdays in Term 2 at Dripstone Lions Park, Casuarina Beach for a 2 or 3 km stroll, jog or run. All family members are welcome and can contribute points to their childs Primary or Middle School tally. Runs are timed so that you can monitor your improvement each week. School Cross Country starts with a course familiarisation run on Wednesday 14th April and then occurs each Wednesday for 8 weeks. Run starts promptly at 5.00pm so it is advisable to arrive between 4.30 and 4.45pm. The only cost is the initial purchase of a competitor number. Numbers can be purchased at the table before the start of the run. For $2.00 competitors are entitled to run for the 8 weeks of competition. On the final night, 9th June, every student competitor runs for him/herself and individual ribbons are awarded for each age group in both boys and girls. Volunteers will be needed to assist with marshalling and recording.
