By Sara Quelch | Posted: Tuesday July 24, 2018
Dear Parents/Caregivers
Weather permitting, the Balmacewen Intermediate Cross Country will be held at school on Friday 10th August (Week 3 Term 3). The postponement date is Friday 17th August. It will take place between 1.15pm and 2.45pm, with the students running at the following times:
Year 7 girls 1.20pm
Year 7 boys 1.40pm
Year 8 girls 2.00pm
Year 8 boys 2.20pm
The results of theses races will be used to select the students who will represent Balmacewen Intermediate at the Intermediate Schools Cross Country at Kaikorai Valley College on Friday 14th September (postponement date: 21st September).
Students will need to have a nutritious lunch on the day of the cross country and they will need to have a water bottle at school. They are expected to wear correct sports uniform; navy shorts, the school PE t.shirt, sports shoes and socks. The students should also have their jersey or school tracksuit jacket and their dark blue track pants to put on afterwards. If students wish to wear house colours they may, however there is to be no vivid or facepaint used.
Students will still come to school in their correct school uniform and will change into their PE gear at lunchtime.
As always we welcome and appreciate the support of all parents, friends and relatives.
Kind regards
Luke Herden and Sophie Napper
