***UPDATE***  The Year 3-8 Cross Country has been postponed until Wednesday 11 September.

---

Our school-wide cross country event will be held on Wednesday 28 August and Thursday 29 August.  The postponement date is Monday 2 September.  Please check the schedule below for the date and time of your child’s race.

The events for ages 7-13 are held around the Mangati Walkway, starting at the top bridge (near the entry to the walkway from Antonio Place).  A map of the track can be found below.

The Junior Team (Years 1-2) run on the school field.

Please note that students’ age is calculated as follows:

5-8 year olds – age as at Wednesday 28 August

9-13 year olds – age as at 25 September 2024 which is the date of the Taranaki Cross Country.

Students run in age groups and always give a massive effort, while also being great supporters of each other when they are not running their event. Every student who runs earns points for their whānau and we encourage students to dress up in their whānau colours and get into the spirit of the day.

Please come along if you are able and cheer on your runners as they give it their best on Cross Country Day.
