Term 2 has been all about long distance running as we move our focus from Orienteering to Cross Country!

Yesterday all Kinder to Year 6 students walked their specific Cross Country course ranging from 500m to 2.5km ready for our Molesworth Primary School Cross Country Carnival next Tuesday 31^st May!

The Cross Country Carnival will begin at 11am on the Molesworth Recreation Ground Oval, with an official welcome by our Sport Leaders. The events schedule will start with older year levels racing first and at 11.45am we will have the first of our early childhood classes with our Year 1 Cross Country race. We will conclude our 2022 Molesworth Primary School Cross Country Carnival at 12.30pm!

I am most looking forward to our students trying their very best on the track! Cross Country is a great way for students to display a range of skills and attributes well beyond their long-distance running abilities. Long distance running is a test of resilience, perseverance, grit and determination. Students can apply goal setting skills and demonstrate positive self-talk, being brave and courageous in their efforts!

Spectators from our school community are most welcome to come along to cheer and encourage our students. We would appreciate if spectators could please remember to social distance. All students will need to remain with their class groups.

On the day, students are encouraged to bring an item/s of clothing in their house colour to wear during their race. Class teachers will remind students of their house colour and let our new students know what house they are in.

Blue Gum, River Mint and Waratah! Below is the description of each colour and their special meaning for our school community:
