Years 3-6 Cross Country Carnival
The Cross Country Carnival, for all girls in Year 3-6, will be held on Tuesday 11 March at Queens Park, opposite Moriah College. (Baronga Ave, Queens Park.)
On this day, all girls will arrive at school at the usual time and will attend their Form Time. They will then be transported to Queens Park via bus for the start of the carnival.
No student is permitted to meet at Queens Park.
Girls are to wear their sports uniform to school and bring their full school uniform in their SCEGGS sports bag, which they will change into when they return to school. Girls must pack in their school sports bag a full drink bottle, hat (preferably the school sports cap which stays on when running), sunscreen and healthy snacks. Please make sure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your daughters’ name.
Girls will leave SCEGGS from 8.30 am by bus, with the first event starting at around 9.00 am. Girls will then return to school mid-morning, with lessons as usual for the rest of the day
The program has been organised with approximate times as follows:
| 9.00 am | 8/9 years | 2km |
| 9.20 am | 10 years | 2km |
| 9.45 am | 11 years | 3km |
| 10.15 am | 12 years | 3km |
Please note “age” is the age each student is on 31 December 2025.
Spectators are welcome to attend. However, no parents are permitted to be on the course at any time or to run alongside their daughter.
Up to five girls in each age group will be selected to represent SCEGGS at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival from those running on the day. In exceptional circumstances, where a girl cannot run at the school carnival, the final team selection will be at the discretion of the Director of Sport and Primary Sports Coordinator.
There is always the chance a carnival may be postponed or altered due to weather conditions. In the case of any changes or cancellations, communication will be provided as early as possible through the SCEGGS app and Clipboard.
For any questions, please reach out to Adrian Hammond.
We encourage all students to get involved and try their best on the day. Looking forward to a wonderful event!
Adrian Hammond
Primary Sport Coordinator
