Trial Athletics Carnival (Years 2 - 6 ONLY)
This will be held Thursday next week (23rd June). Students will be transported in grades to the Tamworth Regional Athletics Centre to race in the 100m and 200m running event. This is a trial only. This event is held to determine who will be in the Championship Events at the Athletics Carnival. Keep an eye out on Compass to consent to this event. Students will need to wear their sports uniform on Thursday 23rd June, instead of Wednesday 22nd June.
Parent helpers

This levy covers buses to and from the primary, to and from sporting events, Gymnastics, Tennis and the hire of both the swimming pool and athletics track. Please check on your Compass portal whether this needs to be updated.
