Alison Kenna, a psychical education teacher at St Thomas' Primary School in Terang, said representative sport was still up in the air with many events not locked in.

She said the Corangamite District School Sports Association - made up of nine primary schools - was planning to hold district events.

But she said it also depended on what happened with higher level division, regional and state events.

The primary schools state track and field championships are scheduled for November 26.

St Thomas' has already had its school athletics carnival.

Kenna said the school was also keen to know if Basketball Victoria's Hoop Time program would go ahead.

"Junior basketball is big in Terang," she said.

It's a program which brings primary school students together for single-day, round robin tournaments held at basketball stadiums around the state.

Kenna said St Thomas' was planning to have its cross country, using the school block and oval, on the last day of term two.

In the meantime, the school has been innovative and hosted a virtual cross country during the COVID-19 enforced break from in-person classes.

All students, siblings, parents and staff were encouraged to get involved in the four-week program which started on April 14.

Participants were asked to train three times a week and submit their fastest time via email for each week.

Year five and six students had to complete a three-kilometre run while younger students took on shorter distances.

The idea wasn't to be the fastest runner but to be the biggest improver over the four weeks.

"The emphasis was on beating yourself rather than beating someone else," Kenna said.

The school rewarded the biggest improvers in each age group.

The senior students received recognition at a school assembly on Friday. The junior students were acknowledged last week.

The family who recorded the biggest collective improvement was crowned the 2020 Cross Country Champions.

Kenna was inspired to organise the virtual event after learning of the Warrnambool Tri Club's virtual series.

She was looking for ways to engage students during remote learning.

With students now back at school, Kenna said physical education classes were largely operating as normal.

She said "elbows over high fives" were being encouraged.
