The girls will be leaving SCEGGS at 8.30 am, with the first event starting at 9.00 am. Girls will return to school mid-morning, with lessons as usual for the rest of the day.

Spectators are welcome to attend but are asked to remain around the perimeter of the cross-country track.

According to IPSHA regulations, five girls in each age group will represent SCEGGS at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival. In exceptional circumstances where a girl is unable to run at the school carnival, the final team selection will be at the discretion of the Director of Sport and Primary Sports Coordinator.

The IPSHA Cross Country Carnival will take place at The King’s School on Saturday 26 March 2022.

Please note due to wet weather the Carnival may be postponed. This decision will be made in the coming days and will be communicated via email, Twitter and through class teachers. If the carnival is unable to go ahead, a regular timetabled day will occur.
