Junior School Cross Country

The Junior Year 3 to Year 5 Cross Country event will be held on Monday 15 March 2021. Participating in the cross-country carnival is a fantastic opportunity for your daughter to improve her fitness and to support her House. The girls will gain valuable house points and may qualify for selection to represent MLC School at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival. There will be two events for your daughter to choose from to participate in. Students may choose to participate in one of the following:

1. Competitive run event where students are aiming to gain both representative selection and points for their house.
2. Fun participation-based run event where students are aiming to gain points for their house.

At the conclusion of the carnival, the girls will participate in some ball games before returning to school for lunch.

Please ensure your daughter has a full water bottle and morning tea to take with her.

All students will be transported via bus to Bicentennial Park (Victoria Ave Entrance), departing Junior School at 9am. Please arrive at school at normal time and move to your classrooms for roll marking. The class teachers will then walk the students to the buses to depart for the carnival. At the conclusion of the event, all students will be transported back to school via bus at approximately 12.30pm. Parents are welcome to come and support their daughters at the event, however students cannot be collected from the park by parents and must return to school on the bus so they may attend their afternoon classes.
