Athletics Day

Yesterday, the Grade 3-6's travelled to Collingwood Athletics track to compete in the CNPS Athletics day. The weather was absolutely brilliant and blessed us with sunshine and clear skies throughout the day. Our students were able to perform amazing skills in the field and running events as well as resilience, persistence and determination throughout the day. 

 

 All of the ribbons were given out yesterday and today at school and students will be notified by tomorrow if they have qualified for the District Athletics at Coburg on the 24th of August (generally top 2 in each event, top 4 in 100m for relays).

 

These events cannot be successful without the assistance of the teachers and parents who help out at events (making spreadsheets, timing, recording, marshalling, place judges, field events) or even bringing morning tea. We really appreciated your efforts in making the day so much fun for the students. The kids had an amazing time and we couldn’t have done it without you all.

 

A special thanks to Maddi Davis for all her help in the background. I would also like to thank parents Rachel Mathews, Kristen Dearricott and Joan Perryman for their help behind the scenes! 

 

Look forward to the District Event next week!!
