NPS Cross Country Carnival
On Thursday 20th May, we are holding our Cross Country Carnival for all grades. Kinder to Grade 2 students will run in the morning block, 3/4 students between recess and lunch while the 5/6s will run in the afternoon. All students will need to bring a large drink bottle, spare shoes and socks and wear their sports uniform. House colours in the 3-6 Carnival are encouraged. Banksia: green, Wattle: blue, Waratah: red.
All students will run a school-based track. If the Cross Country needs to be postponed, we will place a message on our Facebook page and send a text message to parents.
We are pleased to say that spectators are able to attend the event, however you must adhere to the following COVID Safe Procedures. Parents and guardians who are on the school grounds after having dropped their children to their class will still need to sign in.
- Maximum TWO spectators per family
- ENTRY MUST BE via NORWOOD AVENUE BETWEEN LADY GOWRIE AND KINDERGARTEN
- Staff will be manning the entry point and all spectators must sign in on arrival by either handing in the completed slip (to be sent home next week one form per family please list both names)or using the sign in sheet at entry point and using the Check in Tas app.
- Spectators must stay in the designated spectator area and must physical distance 1.5 metres at all times from other families
- Spectators must only stay for their child's race leaving promptly at the end exiting via the bottom oval through the gate into the Lady Gowie car park
- If you are unwell or have symptoms of a cold, cough or fever you must not attend the event.
Students will be training for the carnival during PE lessons for the next few weeks. With some dew and rain around at this time of year, it might be a good idea for students to pack a spare pair of shoes and socks on PE days.
