Diocesan Athletics Carnival: Thursday 7th August, 2025
Trial Athletics Carnival (Year 2 - 6)
The Trial Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 13th June. This event is for Years 2 - 6 only. The students are bussed at various times to the Athletics Centre to run the 100m and 200m events only. The purpose of the day is to determine who will be in the timed Championship Events on the day of the actual School Athletics Carnival (Thursday 26th June, 2025).
** Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help with timekeeping on the day (Friday 13th June) ** I will send a confirmation timetable via email next week.
Years 3 - 6 will be carrying out both shot put and long jump over the coming weeks at school to determine Championship Events and Year 2 will participate in these events the day of the trial.
High jump will be held at school in the coming weeks. This event is not held on the day of the Athletics Carnival, therefore students who are successful will have their points recorded and kept for the championship points. High jump is only for students who are proficient in this area.
DISCUS: Discus will be held at the Athletics Carnival at 8.00am. Children wishing to participate in this event must know how to use a discus correctly, participation in Little Athletics is favourable. Please email setsport@arm.catholic.edu.au if your child is participating in discus by Thursday 19th June, 2025.
Time permitting, we will be holding the annual ‘Parent/Teacher 100m Dash’ towards the end of the day at the Athletics Carnival. Parents can self nominate on the day! See you at the start line.
Please keep an eye out on Compass after the Trial Day to consent to the Athletics Carnival. This will require separate permission.
I also look forward to having as many parent volunteers as possible on the day of the Athletics Carnival K-6 to assist with time keeping or field events. If you are able to assist, even for a short time, can you please fill out the attached google form?Parent Helpers - Athletics Carnival 2025 Google Form
Kind regards and looking forward to a fantastic 2 events!
