HOUSE ATHLETICS 2020 – Week 4

HOUSE ATHLETICS 2020 – Week 4

Hooray!!! We are back to school and we are wasting no time getting into some events that we have had to postpone.  So Week 4 of Term will be HOUSE ATHLETICS WEEK.  Due to restrictions it will be a very altered format.  Each Year level will have different times and all students will still compete in 8 events. Ribbons will be awarded for each year level house group.

Our Junior (P-2) students will participate in 100m, 400m, Hurdles, Long Jump, High Jump, Vortex, Shot Put and Discus.

Our Senior (3-6) will participate in 100m, 800m, Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus. 

Students and teachers will wear their HOUSE COLOURS on their Year Level’s Athletics Day.

   Prep – Friday 30th October

Year 1 – Monday 26th October

Year 2 – Thursday 29th October

Year 3 – Friday 30th October

Year 4 – Thursday 29th October

Year 5 – Thursday 29th October

Year 6 – Friday 30th October

However much we would love for parents to be able to assist and join in our Athletics day at this stage, due to restrictions, this is unable to happen.  We ask that you please respect the rules and STAY HOME so that these events can be run for your children’s enjoyment rather than just cancelled.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that restrictions are gone by Term 1 2021 for our Senior House Athletics Carnivals back at the Waverley Athletics Track.  This event this year is unfortunately NOT OPEN to any parent spectators.

So get out running, jumping, and throwing with your children over the next few weeks in preparation for our House Athletics in Week 4!
