Children are encouraged to
wear their house colours, bring a water bottle, wear a hat, apply sunscreen and
have a warm jacket handy just in case.
Please bring a safety pin so
your score card can be placed on to your top.
It
should be a great day and we would love to see you down here if you can. Make sure you bring your running shoes for
the parent relay at the end.
