WEMBLEY DOWNS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Run Club is a free initiative supported by the Wembley Downs Primary School P&C.

 

We welcome our whole school community (including guardians, siblings and teachers) to come along and participate every Friday morning from 8.00am on the school oval. We also encourage parents that have children attending Run Club to offer their time to help with the running of this program, many hands make light work! Run Club is intended to be simple and for all abilities.

 

The session commences with a simple warm-up before gathering for some laps around a set loop. Participant lap numbers are recorded and tallies accumulated to track their distance progress. Walking and/or running is perfectly acceptable – it is all about being involved and keeping moving. Run Club has many health benefits including increased fitness levels, improved energy, improved attendance, and concentration levels at school.

​
