Newlands Athletics Carnival

Dear parents/caregivers, 

Newlands Primary School is celebrating the Athletics Carnival this term on Friday 29th July (next week). The event will take place at Jackson Reserve in Coburg from 10am -2:45pm. Students must wear their house colours. A hat/sunscreen/rain jacket are recommended depending on weather condition. Spiked footwear is not permitted. Please ensure your children bring a small bag with lunch box, snacks, and bottle of water. 

Class teachers, staff members and students in Grades 2-6 will walk together to the location at 9am. Students in Foundation and Grade 1 are staying in the school in the morning and will walk to the track at 11am. Everyone will walk back to school after the event finishes. Pick up time at school as usual (3.30pm). 

Please note this year there will be a coffee cart coming to the venue on the Athletics day. They will serve coffee and light snacks. This is not provided by the school; it is an independent source and we take no responsibility for food allergies and costing. We are extremely grateful to have the coffee cart adding to the celebration. 

Parents and caregivers are invited to come along and cheer on our students!

Students who come 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Grades 4, 5 and 6 will be asked to represent Newlands Primary School at the SSV Coburg District Athletics Championships on Wednesday 17th August. 

See you there!
