Athletic Carnival News                                                     New Carnival Date:  Friday 19th June     

We are making some strategic changes for our Athletics Carnival this year.

This will only apply to students 8 years and above.

In previous years our children have completed their long distance events, 200m, 800, and 1500m, at Federation Park the day after our Athletics Carnival.

This year we will be running these events  on Thursday 14th May at Federation Park

Only students who have completed a nomination form to enter these events will travel to the park.  All other students will stay at school and continue classes as normal. Students competing will wear their sports uniform on this day.  Parents are welcome to come and watch as usual.  Time details will be given when we determine numbers from nomination forms.

Why the change? Primarily it is because THS have marked the lines for their carnival the day before, so it is ready for our use. 

Last year it was expensive to remark and it was very time consuming.

All results will go towards the Athletics Carnival tally. Our whole school carnival will be held on Friday 19th June.

Nomination forms were sent home last week. Please return these ASAP so our run sheets can be drawn up for the day.
