Around the Grounds

Sports Fun Day

Our Sports Fun Day (in lieu of our Athletics Carnival) will be held this Friday, weather permitting. The day will involve lots of fun events and activities with a focus on house spirit and teamwork. We are very excited!

The children will move around a series of activities in their house groups. The staff will man all the activities. There will not be any individual ribbons but we will have four trophies for Houses to aspire to. The trophies will be for qualities relating to things such as teamwork, respect, participation and perseverance. 

Please take note of the following important information for the day:

• The carnival is classed as a school day and the same rules and expectations regarding behaviour and attendance apply as they would at school. If your child can not attend for any reason, please use the Compass Parent Portal to explain their absence or email the office.
• All children must come to school as normal. They will go to class and have the roll marked and then students will all walk to the Soccer Fields. Students will return to school in the afternoon for normal pick-up/bus arrangements.
• NO PARENTS are allowed to attend the event, this includes sitting in your car to spectate.
• THERE WILL BE NO CANTEEN. There will be a free sausage sizzle for all children for lunch (you will need to pack lunch if your child won't eat this). You will need to pack morning tea. 
• Children will need to bring plenty of water, as well as sunscreen and a hat. Children who normally carry their asthma puffers will need to take these with them to the carnival. All other medication that is held at the office will be taken to the soccer fields.
• Children can wear coloured clothes representing their house or school sports uniform with their joggers. PLEASE LABEL ALL ITEMS!
• If using coloured zinc/hairspray please apply at home and do not bring to school.
