Food: It is recommended that children bring a healthy snack and lunch to eat at the venue. There will not be a canteen at the event. Students will have time to eat throughout the day, while watching the events.
As students should have already returned a local area walking permission slip no extra permission is required for this excursion. All students are expected to attend this event.

Spectator Attendance
Spectators are welcomed to the event and can enter through the Hume Street gates. Spectators are welcome to bring their own seating and sit on the grassy hill at the southern end (river end) of the ground, otherwise seating is available in the grandstand closest to the Hume Street gates. This seating is for adults only. No students are permitted to sit in the grandstand. Students must sit in their sporting year groups. Parents are not allowed onto the main oval.
Spectators are asked to not arrive at the ground before 9:45am. We kindly ask spectators not to enter or sit near the Albury Tigers Club Rooms. Once again, we are very grateful to Albury Tiger’s support in allowing us to use the football oval for our cross country carnival this year.
If you have any further questions about the cross-country carnival, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
