Athletics Carnival 2025 - This Friday!
Our annual school athletics carnival will be held this Friday the 13th of June at The Golland Fields, Quirindi.
Travel Arrangements for Carnival Day
We will follow the same process as last year where students will come to school as normal and then be bussed over to the fields at 9am. We intend to start our carnival by 9:30am. Buses will then pick students up from the fields between 2-2:30pm and bring them back to school for normal afternoon arrangements.
Things to remember!
It is a normal school day, all students are expected to be in attendance. Remember, your colour house needs your voice for the War Cry and your feet for the March Past!
Pack warm clothing - an extra jumper or beanie.
Children can wear zinc, hair spray and ribbons of their colour house, as well as a t-shirt that matches their colour house.
Bring plenty to eat. We are very busy all day and students will have lots of little breaks and opportunities to refuel.
Helpers
Thank you to those parents who have put their hands up to assist in the running of our carnival whether it is in the canteen, set up and pack up or out on the track. I really appreciate your assistance. A program of events will be sent out tomorrow with your assigned job.
PT & F Canteen
Our amazing PT&F will be running a canteen for the sports carnival. Lunch is pre-orders but morning tea can be purchased on the day. Thank you to the parents who have volunteered their baking skills. Baking can be dropped off to the grounds on Friday morning. I will be there from 8am setting up. Please support our PT&F and our children by cooking up a treat.
High Jump - Thursday
We will have a practice for high jump Tuesday and Wednesday at school during lunch. The high jump event will be run on Thursday during lunchtime and the afternoon session. The event is needing to be held Thursday instead of Wednesday due to Stage 3's involvement in the Tamworth Eisteddfod on Wednesday. Students participating in highjump will need to bring their sports uniform and joggers (waffles can also be warn) to school with them on Thursday. Good luck to all students who are competing!
Term 2 Sport
Students have begun their basketball sessions and have already gained new ball handling skills. These sessions will continue until week 9.
