Cross Country
Each year Papakowhai School runs a cross country running event. Every class is involved and practice running for a few weeks leading up to the event. The length of the run is adjusted according to the childrens age group. Students who do well are invited to represent Papakowhai in the Interschool Competition.
Parents are welcome to cheer their children on the day of the school Cross Country.
"You have to run around the field twice and then run up the hill and then down. People started from different places. People finished the race at all different places. I came sixth in my age group. I like running it is my favourite sport, I never get tired unless I stop running. We practise everyday before cross country. I got into the interschool." by Craig
