Athletics

The new date is on Wednesday 24 August. However, this event will be for competitors only and will involve a small number of staff. The event will be held at the new Melton Athletics track.

All classes will run as normal on this day, with the likelihood of a few students missing classes. VCE classes will run as normal with only VCE students who are up to date with work being allowed to participate. We would also expect any Yr7-12 students involved to catch up on any work missed.

If any parent wishes to assist with the athletics carnival please contact Mr. Darcy asap. You must have a current Working with Childrens check. The carnival will be reduced mainly to track events with a couple of field events (some of these will be done in the week beforehand at school).
