4 April 2017 Dear Parents and Guardians
Cross Country Carnival 2017
Due to the wet weather, we have rescheduled the High School annual Cross Country Carnival to Wednesday, 19 April.
The carnival will take place at Schuster Park, Schusters Road, Tallebudgera. The first race is scheduled to start at approximately 12.40pm. In an effort to encourage house spirit, students must wear their house polo shirt on this day. Conditions
It is recommended that students bring a change of clothes, a towel, a spare pair of socks and shoes incase of wet weather. If it is a sunny day we ask all students to be sun smart and make sure they have sunscreen on and cover up when they are not racing.
All races should be completed by approximately 2.10pm with presentations being made at this time. Following on from this carnival, we will select eight competitors plus two reserves from each age, to represent King’s Christian College at the annual APS Cross Country Carnival to be held at Runaway Bay on Tuesday, 16 May.
