Whole School House Athletics Carnival - Wednesday 13th March

The College will conduct its whole school annual House Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 13th March at Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium  (146/156 McDonalds Rd, Epping) commencing at approximately 10.00am.

This is an outdoor event, so please ensure your child/children bring sunscreen and other suitable sun protection, such as a hat, preferably in house colours, protective clothing and plenty of fluids for the day.

The canteen will be open on the day - but in case of huge wait queues perhaps BYO lunch, snacks and drinks!

All students are expected to attend the Carnival and be aware of the following arrangements:

• Students will report to school by 8.55am, ready to leave by bus to Epping by 9.15am.
• All students are encouraged to wear their House colours to support their House.
• This is a school event so the Education Department Mobile Phone Policy applies.

At the conclusion of the day, approximately 2.15pm, students will board the buses and return to school.

Programs for the day’s events will be available at the College Office soon.

Additional programs will be available through House Coordinators.

Please be advised that no body paint is to be worn ~ this is the bus company directive.
