Cross Country 2024
The CPS Cross Country event was a resounding success! The perfect weather added to the atmosphere. It’s great to see students embodying the CPS values of resilience, respect, engage, and excel. Events like these not only promote physical health but also foster a sense of community and teamwork. Kudos to Mr Howesmith for his efforts in organising the music, the sports captains and year 6 students for their contributions, and the STEAM Team for capturing the day’s moments so beautifully. And of course, a big round of applause to the entire staff for their coordination and dedication. Community support is invaluable in making such events possible, so hats off to the wider CPS community for their continued encouragement and involvement!

Interschool Cross Country
The interschool cross country is scheduled for Wednesday 19 June and is for our year 3 – 6 students ONLY. The team is made up of students who finished in places 1-6 in their race at the Churchlands PS cross country. All notes have gone home to those students, if you believe your child should have received a note but they have not, can you please contact Mr Marshall at Michael.marshall@education.wa.edu.au . All the other relevant information for this event will be sent out via Audiri.
Running Club
For new families to Churchlands PS, running club is where students run laps around the oval earning points for their faction. Exercising in the mornings has many health benefits and is a great way to start the day.
Some benefits include:
- improved physical and mental energy,
- a better night’s sleep,
- reach your fitness goals,
- enhance your metabolism.
A reminder that mugs for Milo need to be placed on the table outside the undercover area before 8.25 am. Milo is an acknowledgement of the effort put in during running club.
It is encouraged that students need to run at least 5 laps to get a Milo. Turning up late won’t allow enough time to get 5 laps done.
Can you please click on the link and fill in the attached form, so Mr Marshall can organise your QR code card before your first running club. Kids of all ages are welcome to join in the fun, that is running club. Remember to bring your QR code to every running club.
