The school and house captains are required to come along and help conduct the events for the juniors as part of their leadership roles. It is important that all students arrive on time so events can commence promptly helping to ensure that the carnival can be completed on schedule.

Getting there

Venue: Catholic Ladies College (CLC)

 

Once you have parked, walk across the driveway and down past the gym and tennis courts to the oval where the children will gather in house groups. 

School on the day

The children will come to school on this day at the usual time and take part in their normal classes until 1.00pm. 

 

We encourage parents to come and pick up their children between 1.00pm and 1.10pm which then allows us to send most of our staff to CLC to start setting up. Children being picked up will need to be signed out from their classrooms prior to 1.10pm and cannot walk out to cars unsupervised. Children cannot walk home from school prior to the 3.15pm normal finish time. 

 

We understand that some parents will be unable to collect their children early and arrangements will be made for the supervision of the remaining students until the regular finishing time. The after school care program will run as usual. 

 

As mentioned earlier, parents are welcome to move around the field watching the field events but I ask that once the children move to the running track all spectators should move outside the roped off area and watch the sprints from the spectator areas behind the children. This is to ensure that all the children have the best view possible.

Food and drinks

The PFOL will be selling food and drinks and we know some families will be bringing

along dinner.  As always the PFOL will need plenty of volunteers to run the BBQ! 

 

We ask that after the children are marshalled into their house groups that no food or drink be brought to them.  The Junior School children will have the opportunity after 6.30pm to have their dinner while the Senior School children will be able to eat either before 5.30pm or after 7.30pm. 

 

Families are welcome to bring along a picnic basket, a rug, and camp chairs.  As this is a School event with children, alcohol is not permitted.  

What to wear

On the night the children are invited to wear a t-shirt in their house colour with their normal school sports shorts. Those that don’t have something don’t need to worry as we have plenty of colour bibs for each house that will be available on the night. 

 

Keep in mind that at this time of the year the nights can get cool quickly, so it may be wise to have a warm jacket handy.  

 

In cases of rain or extreme weather events a decision on cancelling this event will be made on the Wednesday and families will be informed by note at the end of the day.  

 

More information will be coming out over the next couple of days so keep your eyes open for an Operoo form.
