The Ins & Outs

This year’s Senior Cross Country is on Tuesday, W4 at Skoglund Park. Below is a picture of the Senior course if you are keen to go down and have a practice. Come on everyone lets get running!

On Tuesday Afternoon Jett and some other students from RSS were lucky enough to go Wellington for a cricket skills clinic with some of the Black Caps. How cool is that! Check out some of the photos from the session!

Today was the Russell Street School Senior swimming sports at the Lido. It was an awesome day full of fun and excitement! Check out some of the photos!

Today was the senior school Tryathlon at Russell Street School. It was an awesome morning and everyone tried their best. Check out some of the photos from the event!

Yesterday 4.5 had a full Tryathlon practice for fitness. It was great to go over the whole course and see what areas were going to be be tricky! Check out the photos!

On Wednesday 27^th February, we will be having a Russell Street School Tryathlon for all students in Years 3-6.

All students will need a roadworthy bicycle and a helmet, togs, towel, sports clothing, water bottle and warm clothes for after the race. If you do not have a bicycle then the student can run that part of the course.

The first race is at 9.20 starting with the Year 3 girls. Races will begin every 7-8 minutes there after.

The event is a Tryathlon which means it is a taster so kids can experience what a triathlon is all about. This means we will not be taking results in Years 3/4. However, we will take results in Year 5/6 and use this information for interschool selection.

Finally, we need additional people to help marshal the course. If you are able to help on the day please contact me ASAP!

Thanks, Stephen
