ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

All students are encouraged to participate in as many events as possible, regardless of their ability. There is no pressure to perform other than to do their best and enjoy the day. Students will travel to the venue by bus. The anticipated starting time is 10:15am and all spectators/parents/carers are welcome.

Buses will leave school at 9:00 am and return around 3:00 pm. Students should be at school by 8:50 am.

The following information may be of some help:

Sports uniforms are to be worn, preferably with house colours, e.g. t-shirt, ribbons. House banners, streamers, mascots etc. are also encouraged. Hats and sunscreen are mandatory. Students should bring their own asthma puffers and epipens.

Joggers MUST be worn to and from the ground, no bare feet or spikes. Spikes are allowed for 100m, 200m, long jump (if in finals) only.
