Running Training at St Columba's could not occur without volunteer staff to facilitate these opportunities.
Running Training typically occurs during Terms 1and 2, in preparation for inter house, Zone and District Cross Country and Athletics carnivals, but also in promotion of good heart health and maintaining healthy, active lifestyles and bodies.
Training is held before school from 7:45am - 8:10am. Days and times vary, and are communicated in newsletters, via the Parent Portal and via our social media channels. Students also receive this information at various assembly opportunities.
For more information, please don't hesitate to contact the school at pwilston@bne.catholic.edu.au or on 3356 9866
