Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Muritai School Cross Country will be held at Williams Park on Tuesday 18th May. If the weather is not good there will be a postponement date for Thursday 20th May.

Children in years 2–8 will be walking to the park and will leave school at 9.05. The children in years 0-1 (Rooms 1, Year 1’s in Room 2, 3 and 4) will be travelling by car and will need to depart at 9.30. If you are able to help with transport to and from the park please fill out the form below and return it to your class teacher by Wednesday 12th May. You don’t have to have a child in year 0-1 to help; all offers are much appreciated. Teachers from the junior school will email and confirm your offer by Friday 14th May.

On arrival children will assemble in their house groups. The race times are as follows:

Race Year group Start time (approx.)
Event 1 0-2 9.45

Event 3 5-6 10.25
Event 4 7-8 10.45

Sensible footwear must be worn. If possible children should wear at least one item of clothing in their house colour. King –red, Sanson-blue, Charters-green and Cook-yellow. Please ensure that your child brings a named jersey or jacket to wear before and after their race. Children will have morning tea after their race. Please make sure that your child has a large drink because there are no water fountains available.

Parents and family are welcome to come and support the children in this event, please stand behind the main group of children or further along so that everybody can see the runners.

If you are able to help with the event by being a ‘marshal ‘(giving directions to runners and ensuring safety) please email me cody@muritai.school.nz by Wednesday 12th May. Please include your name, child’s name and which class they are in and what events you are able to assist marshalling for.

Thank you for your support
Mikaela Cody
