PCS Cross Country Day

 It is that time of year again!

Despite all the rain, the mud, the slips, the road closures the track on Mrs Cutlers farm was not muddy at all! While we missed the mud a little bit the weather was awesome and we had so much fun.

We are one of the few schools to still hold our own cross country races on a 'real' track.  Something we are very proud of 😁 We support each other, cheer on our whanau groups, encourage and celebrate in everyones personal successes.  There is always tuakana teina too when the littlest children in the school run.

Check out some of the pics from yesterday

PCS Cross-Country 2019

Our cross-country is a REAL cross-country.

It is held on Mrs Cutler's farm.  There is grass, mud, streams to jump over, hills, gravel and cow poo!



This year was not as muddy as last year but it was still definitely there. 
There were only a few shoes lost in the mud 😁

Years 5-8 run 3 km
Years 3-4 run 1.8 km
Years 0-2 run 1 km


We have Zones next week so we are still training at school  three days a week.


It is so nice to go out as a whole school.  The day is about participating, trying your hardest, supporting and encouraging others and celebrating our talented runners. 

🏃 Beep Test Fitness 🏃

We have started cross-country training!

On Mondays and Tuesdays we do a run (either in school or a loop out of school around the road) and on Thursdays we do the beep test.  The aim is to personally improve our fitness. This is a time-lapse Mrs Cutler took this morning 😁
