This year our Cross Country events will be held on Wednesday 18 September.

The Cam Two and a Half Cross Country for Grades Three to Six will again be run jointly with Cooee Primary commencing after recess at 11.30 am. The event will be held at school and the children will have the choice of entering the medal event (this involves two laps of the course, double points for the school house, participation certificate, first to fifth placegetters certificate and will be in the running for the overall medallion) or the fun run event (this involves one lap of the course, participation certificate and single house points)

The Somerset Primary Cross Country for Kinder to Grade Two will commence after lunch at 1.30 pm and run on the school oval and surrounds.

As this is a school house competition all children participating will earn points for their house. Cross Country running is challenging and the children will be encouraged to complete the course to the best of their ability.  For this reason all participants Kinder to Grade Six will receive a certificate of participation for completing the course.

We do request parents to pack a complete change of clothes including underwear and shoes for your child as the oval is wet and we do not want children sitting around in wet clothing.

Parents are more than welcome to come along and support the children.

ON THE DAY OF THE CAM TWO AND A HALF WE DO REQUIRE AT LEAST SIX PARENTS TO MAN CHECKPOINTS AROUND THE COURSE.  COULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME AT THE OFFICE, IF YOU CAN ASSIST.

The back-up day in the event of poor weather will be Wednesday 25 September.
