Firstly – by the highest point winner in each year level

If students are tied on points

Secondly – a countback is conducted based on the number of 3’s they have achieved

If students are tied on 3’s

Thirdly – a countback is conducted on the number of first places they have achieved in field and running events

In the case of inclement weather on any of the aforementioned days a decision and subsequent notifications will be made on Sentral. Please avoid calling the school office as no news will mean good news😊
