RGGS Cross Country- Friday 1 April 2022
The RGGS Cross Country is fast approaching, and it has been great to see girls out running the track with Dr Fry after school, getting important fitness under their belts in preparation.
House meetings will occur on Wednesday morning next week. During this time House Prefects will walk the track with their House group and then give important information for the carnival itinerary.
It is expected that all students attend the Cross Country as it is a normal school day. All students need to participate in their age group race. Those that do not wish to push themselves, can walk the course as a non-competitive participant.
Spectators are welcome and encouraged on the day. Upon arrival, parents and spectators will need to sign in on the oval at the table located under the recovery tent (near the finish line) or through reception.
