Every year Ringwood North Primary School’s 3’s - 6’s race in a Cross Country race. Most of the school raced to se who would win. Teachers say the age groups. All of the 3’s – 4’s race first. When the teachers find out the top 10 people, they go on to district. The first top 10 out of 80 go onto zone.

But on Tuesday’s there’s the big bad Cross Country traning. You have to run 6 laps of the oval. It’s really tiring. Most people got in.

Cross Country is very good for the school because it gets you fit and healthy, it also trains you to be an athlete. The End!!

In 1973 and 1974 we built the corridor.
In 1973 to 1974 we reached 235 kids.
In 1973 we got the boys and girls toiets.
