ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

Our annual Athletics Carnival is being held on the playground at school on Thursday, 29th June 2023. 

Children will compete in the age group that they will be turning in 2023. All children aged 5-7 will be placed in 70m heats. All children aged 8-13 will be placed in 100m heats. The children will trial at school for places in the 8-13 years field event finals (long jump and shot put) which will be held on the day of the Athletics Carnival.  

High jump trials and finals will be held at school prior to the carnival.  Parents will be advised of the dates for the high jump finals. 

The 800m and 200m races are by nomination.  A note has been sent home and was due back last Friday, 16th June.  

We are also seeking some parent helpers to help make the day a success.   We require assistance in the following areas: 

Time keepers, Judges, Field Event supervisors, Recorders, Novelty Event Helpers.

If you are able to assist please complete the volunteer section of the note which was sent home 5th June 2023 and return to school ASAP. 

The P&F will be running a canteen and BBQ on the day (cash only).   The school canteen will be closed. 

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL PRACTICE

Practice is underway as the students prepare for our annual Athletics Carnival. Our Primary Students are enthusiastic about getting out onto the oval and practicing their high jump, long jump and shot put to qualify for the Carnival. 

INFANTS TENNIS PROGRAM

We are lucky to have Mr Shane Murphy, a coach from Narrabri District Tennis Association Inc. running a Tennis Program with our infants students this term. The students have been working on their hand-eye coordination and teamwork as they participate in small group tennis rallies. They have also been practising throwing underarm passes and catching the ball as well as serving and using their forehand stroke to return the ball. The students have made wonderful progress with their tennis skills this term.
