Cross Country

Our students take part in the school Cross Country trials to select the participants for the District Championships which are held in Cooktown. The children that perform well in events then have the opportunity of being selected for the district team which competes in the Regional Championships in Cairns.

Bloomfield River School hosts the annual Small Schools Sports.  Schools from the local cluster take part in this two day athletic's carnival which includes track, field and ball game events.  Participating schools include Rossville, Laura, Lakeland, Coen as well as some distance education students.

The idea and purpose of these sports is to let all the children 'have a go'.

This event is well supported by parents and community members from all schools.

organised games and activities.
