RPS Athletics Carnival (Grades 3-6 )

We have exciting news! This year, we will be hosting a Grade 3-6 Athletics Carnival on Friday 7th March, at the Willinda Park Athletics Track. This day will be used to select our athletics team to represent RPS at the District Athletics Day on Thursday 27th March.

To ensure the day is a success, we are seeking parent volunteers to assist with various roles throughout the event. All volunteers will need a Working with Children’s Card and need to complete 2025 school induction form. 

Please email kelli.zealley@education.vic.gov.au if you are able to assist.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to a fantastic day of athletics!
