Dear Students, Parents and Caregivers

St Patrick's senior Cross Country (for Year 4 - 8 Students) is being held at Anzac Park on Tuesday 12th of May.

Year 4 - 6 Students will be transported to and from the park by bus.  The bus will be leaving school at 10.00am, returning to school by 12.45pm.  Our Year 7 & 8 students will be walking down and returning by bus. Students will be running in year groups, at the following (approximate) times:

10.30am - Year 7 & 8 race

11.00am - Year 6 race

11.30am - Year 4 race 

12.00pm Year 5 race                                                   

Students will need to wear their sports uniform and need a full water bottle and a warm jacket and a change of footwear if the ground is wet.

The postponement date for this event is Thursday 14th of May.  We will advise by 8.00am via our Facebook page and Skool Loop should we need to postpone on the day.

We require several helpers to run this event, marshalling at certain points around the track.  If you are able to assist for the afternoon, please email lisa@stpatricksgm.school.nz.

Parents are most welcome to attend and support our students, although we ask that you do not drive into the grounds as the netball court car park is involved in our cross country course. Limited parking is available on Cowper Street and Turumaha Street.

The PTA is assisting to raise funds for 2027 camps for Years 6-8 students.  This year they are trying something a little different with a fantastic Westgold ‘Butter for Better’ Fundraiser.  Please see Flyer attached for details.
