DIVISION ATHLETICS 2019

As part of our Athletics program at NPS, and following on from our own House Athletics Day, students may have the opportunity to compete at the next level, which will be Division Athletics in Shepparton. Selection here involves teachers monitoring and observing students efforts and achievements throughout the course of Term 3, through our weekly training sessions with Skillzone, the House Athletics Day, and then scheduled trials the previous 3 weeks leading up to the Division day on MONDAY 14th OCTOBER. Please take note of point 6 below, which states that each school may nominate one competitor for each event, e.g. - one boy, one girl, and also point 7, family cost is $10 per competitor. Please think carefully about supporting and encouraging our students here, whilst also being aware that for some events there are minimum standards (see high jump below). Before the event, I will complete the application forms for students wishing to attend and compete. The due date for these forms is Friday 20th September. Parents are responsible to transport their own child and supervise them at the Division Athletics.
