VERMONT SECONDARY COLLEGE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL FRIDAY 5TH MARCH

The annual VSC Athletics carnival will be held on Friday 5th March at the East Burwood Athletics Track. All students in Years 7 to 12 are required to attend this whole school event. There are no classes running at school and there is no ‘sign out’ option for senior students. All students are required to attend for the entire day.

It would also be great to see all students compete in at least two events and do not forget to wear your house colours. Parents and guardians are invited to attend on the day to support their children. If you have any questions about the day then please contact one of our Sport Leaders, Amy Malander or Sean Gillespie.

If for some reason your child is unable to attend then please, preferably in advance, contact the school.
