Primary Cross Country Running

Dear Fern Primary Families,

We are forming a Fern Primary Cross Country running team.  This is open for all students in grades 1, 2, and 3.  We will practise 2-3 times a week before school to prepare for a race to be held away from school with other schools (date and location TBA).  Any student who participates regularly will be eligible to compete.

Our first practice will be this Tuesday, September 12th in the Junior/Senior yard from 8:30 until 9:00.  Students will be supervised at this time as staff will be outside at 9:00 for their duty coverage.

Practices will run every Tuesday and Thursday morning, at school. On Fridays, there is an optional practice at Sorauren Park, from 8:30-9:00. All practices will be held weather permitting. If it is raining heavily, or if there is lightning/thunder, practice will be cancelled.  

Please wear running shoes and bring a water bottle.

Students who attend Ferncliff Daycare can be picked up at 8:20 from their daycare rooms for practices. Please let daycare staff know of your intentions.

A hard copy letter was sent home for interested students.
