Cross Country

Due to the soggy state of the grounds and the wet weather, we have postponed the St Joseph's Cross Country to Tuesday 30th March 2021 (Week 10). The children will be required to wear their sports uniform on Tuesday 30th March. They are permitted to change into their colour house shirt when they get to school and change back into their correct sport uniform once the cross country races are completed. 

We will inspect the school ground on Monday 29th March to see if the grounds are safe for the cross country.

The backup date for cross country is 20th April ( Term 2 Week 1 Tuesday)
