Interhouse Athletics Carnival

Interhouse Athletics Carnival

A reminder to all members of the College community that our Interhouse Athletics Carnival will be occurring on Friday 10 August at Ern Clark Athletics Centre. Students have the opportunity to compete in traditional track and field events, as well as a number of new novelty games. There have been some changes to this year’s program which sees the inclusion of more novelty-based team games. In 30-minute blocks between 9:30am and 12:30pm, students who aren’t competing in a traditional track and field event at that time, will represent their House in a number of novelty events to compete for the “Spirit Bear”. The aim of this is to see more students participating and getting involved on the day.

As a result of this inclusion, discus and javelin events will be run prior to the carnival as well as the 800m events.

Please note the following days/times for events taking place prior to the carnival:

• 800m:
  • Year 9 and 10: Lunch time on Tuesday 3.4
  • Year 11 and 12: Lunch time on Wednesday 3.4
  • Year 7 and 8: Lunch time on Thursday 3.4
• Discus and Javelin:
  • Year 7-10: Measurements will be taken during PE classes in weeks 3.3 and 3.4
  • Year 11-12: Students will compete at lunch time on Monday 3.4 (discus) and Tuesday 3.4 (Javelin)

Student nominations for track and field events will occur during Homerooms in week 3.3.

Thank you for the enthusiasm shown by staff and students alike in the implementation of this new program and I look forward to seeing how it runs on the day. Hopefully we see many of our students actively competing and representing their House.
