Dates to amend in your diaries

The School Sport Victoria (SSV) coordinators, Division and District Secretaries and Presidents have been very busy rebooking events and venues in the hope the following events will still occur.

Please, make changes to your personal calendars for the date changes below:

Division Cross Country -

This is now booked for Monday 6th September at Yarra Glen Race Track.

All other arrangements are the same - Yarra Glen racecourse, parents supply transport and supervision. Good luck!

District Athletics -

Organisers are still waiting to hear if schools have conflict with rebooked dates. Currently the District Athletics, which involves all Grade 5 and 6 students plus qualifying Grade 3 and 4 students, will be held on Monday 18 October.

One of the following back up dates will be used, however, this date will be decided if required. The back up dates are: Tuesday 19 October, or Thursday 21 October, or Friday 22 October.

Division Athletics -

This has now been moved to Thursday 28th October. This is to allow the most time for schools and districts to get their missed events done. Mullum was fortunate to hold our House Athletics Carnival earlier this term.

EMR Athletics – TBA

Involving qualifying students from the Division Athletics.
