District Athletics (Years 3 to 6) - Tuesday September 3rd @ Dolomore - Training
The district Athletics is coming up this term (Tuesday Sept 3rd), so myself and the staff will start training sessions during week 4.
I will be inviting all those athletes who finished in the top 3 or 4 in our house carnival to attend and also anyone that was away for the carnival can also attend to record a time or distance so that I can then organise the final team.
Training will start on Wednesday 7th August and continue for 4 weeks.
Training will be: -
Wednesday morning 7.45 - 8.30am - Throwing events (At school)
Friday mornings 7.45 - 8.30am - Triple Jump, Long Jump, Track events (Dolomore)
Friday Lunchtimes - 1.25 - 1.55pm high jump in the hall
I have attached a plan of the sessions below.
Please also note the following information: -
a) The team will be confirmed and finalised after the 3rd week of training, including relay teams
b) Only 1 student per event is allowed except for 800m and 1500m (2 runners) , so we will have 1 student for each event and an emergency
c) Students are only allowed to take part in 2 events plus a relay, so those students who won multiple events I will be speaking to in the next few weeks.
District Basketball (Year 5 and 6) - Monday August 26th @ Parkdale Secondary College
In the next few weeks we will be holding trials/training for the upcoming Basketball gala day. These will be conducted on a Friday morning during school time and 2 squads will be selected. There will be 2 teams, a boys and a girls team, each with a maximum of 10 players.
