Cross-country is back on this year…just a little different!
Friday 29 May 2020
This is normally a whole school event but due to Covid 19 restrictions, we are having to alter our organisation accordingly. The event is COMPULSORY for all Y7-Y10 students, while U16 and U19 athletes have the option to compete. All U16 and U19 students who opt to compete MUST pre-register to do so in their correct age group. Pre-Registration will take part in tutor classes on Wednesday 27th May.
Please note: only athletes who have registered to compete will be excused from classes. No one will be permitted to come out and watch. This includes visitors / parents to the school.

2020 Aquinas College Cross Country Course
- From the start complete one lap of the orange course
- At the turn around by cricket nets, continue on the black course until the far corner of the field.
- Run on to Ava Glen Place then down to the Gully playground.
- Follow markers up through the gully before exiting gully behind the Technology Block.
- Turn left at the Technology block and run past the cricket nets to the finish.
Please Note: Due to staffing constraints for marshalling we will not be running the exact course as above. When in the gully the runners will turn left at marker point # 9, then run along the gully floor to marker # 10. Here they turn left and run up an incline to exit the gully immediately behind the Technology Block.
All students are required to run. This is a major House Event and earns House points. Correct House (PE) shirts are to be worn by all students Y7-Y10. Senior students no longer with fitting shirts are to be encouraged to wear a plain coloured T Shirt of their respective House Colours. We hope the weather is kind to us!
Weather: The event will take place rain, hail or shine!
