CROSS COUNTRY - TOMORROW

29 Mar 2021

Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the WPPS Cross Country Carnival.

The carnival will begin at 9:30am on the school oval. Students are asked to wear their sport uniform or house colours.

We are hoping to conclude the carnival at recess - 1:50pm.

Hot dog lunch orders will be distributed in classes throughout the carnival. Those students who have not ordered, will need to bring a packed lunch.

As COVID restrictions have changed, we are delighted to inform you that spectators are allowed to attend our carnival. Upon your arrival, all visitors to the school will be required to sign in via the QR code & paper booklet. These will be located at Diana, Tristania & Apollo gates. As per our COVID Safe Plan, spectators are expected to keep a 1.5m distance between one another. To allow for this space, spectators are allowed to watch from the sides of the oval and in the oval COLA.

Please allow for plenty of time to sign in before the carnival as this is compulsory to come onto school grounds.

See you tomorrow for a sunny carnival.
