Gulf Harbour School Cross Country
Thursday 21st August
Dear Parents,
This is a reminder notice
that our annual Gulf Harbour School cross country is now a week away.
Students have been training hard in preparation for this event and we
look forward to celebrating the rewards that this hard work will bring our
runners on this day.
On Thursday 21 August, Gulf
Harbour School will travel to Shakespear Park to run a variety of age
appropriate distances. All year 0 - 2 students will travel by bus to and
from the park. The bus will leave GHS at 9:30 sharp from the back
entrance of the school and return by 2:00pm. There is a cost of $2:00 per
student and this will be invoiced within your child’s account. Should you
wish for your child not to travel on the bus could you please let your child’s
class teacher know ASAP. Year 3-8 students will travel by walking bus.
They will leave school in their classes at 9:00am sharp and will return
to school by 2:30pm. There is no charge for year 3-8 students.
All students are expected
to attend this event. If your child is unable to participate please send
a signed note to school with them to their teacher. However if they are
not able to run we would still like them to attend the event to support their
fellow classmates.
Your child will need to
bring appropriate running shoes, wear their chosen class colours to run in, a
change of clothes, warm clothing to put on prior to and after racing, water,
snacks, and food. We will be selling sausages and bread for $2.00 on the
day. The stadium students will be raising money for our red nose day
(child cancer) and will sell cupcakes for $2. We would really love you to
support Jackson Howes (a stadium student) who is the NZ Cure kids ambassador by
buying a cupcake.
