Term 1 Running Club
All students in Kindy to Year 6 are encouraged to join Miss Uglow on the Primary Green every Thursday morning to run as many laps around the Green as you can! No matter what your ability is, come on down to earn House points, improve your fitness, build your confidence and run your way towards a healthier lifestyle.
Each participating individual will be given their own Running Club lapathon card to count their laps every week. Runners will earn 1 Running Club House Point for every lap they complete around the Primary Green. Running Club lapathon cards must be left with Miss Uglow at the end of each session. You will use the same running club card each week unless you have reached 100 laps… after that you will need a new one!
WEEK 3 RUNNING CLUB House Points: (drum roll please…)
| CHARIS | MAKARIA | PARRESIA |
| 213 | 149 | 206 |
Congratulations to CHARIS House for the most laps in Week 3, followed very closely by Parresia House! We broke our record for the most runners ever with a total of 101 participants this week! Congratulations everyone!
100 LAPS CLUB
Congratulations to Caleigh Schoeman (1C), Callum Hoggart (5S) and Sylvia Munjodzi (our very first parent!) who all joined the 100 Laps Club by completing 100 laps on their lapathon cards! Congratulations to Neil Schoeman (4S) who is now the first person to have completed 200 laps! Well done everyone, keep up the great running!
We will meet on the Primary Green every THURSDAY morning from 8.00am – 8.25am. Come dressed in your sport uniform or normal school uniform and running shoes. You can still participate even if you are not dressed in your sport uniform! Everyone is welcome – you do not need to sign up to participate in this club. Run at your own pace and come and go as you please. Parents/guardians and younger siblings are encouraged to join in too. Happy running everyone!
