Xavier Run Club provides students in Years 1 to 6 with the opportunity to improve their running, challenge themselves and to have fun with their peers whilst being physically active. Students benefit from Run Club as it activates their brain for learning, contributes to developing strong bones and muscles, and builds their self-confidence and endurance.

Students will receive a Run Club ID tag that they scan as they complete each 250m lap to track their progress. At the end of the year, students receive a certificate which signifies the total amount of kilometres and laps run throughout the year.

Students in Years 2 to 6 may commence Run Club in Term 1, whilst students in Year 1 commence in Term 2. Xavier Run Club is held on the Senior Oval on Friday mornings from 8am to 8:25am. Students must come dressed in sport uniform, with their school hat and water bottle. If their class is not normally dressed in sport uniform on a Friday, they will be required to change into their summer uniform before they go to their class at Run Club’s conclusion. Alternatively, if it’s not a class sport day, they can wear their summer uniform and just change shoes from runners to the correct black summer uniform shoes.
