Athletics Carnival is Coming in Week 5

Friday, 27th August, is the Inter-House Athletics Carnival at the Head Street Oval. 

 

This is a compulsory school day for all students. 

 

Arrival: Students are to be at the venue no later than 8:15 so rolls can be marked, numbers can be given, and events can start at 8:30.  

 

Changes to High Jump: This year there is no Fosbury Flop allowed for High Jump due to Athletics Australia Guidelines. 

 

Participation: There is a compulsory Run, Jump and Throw. All students must attempt 100m sprint, Long Jump and Shot Put.

 

A few reminders for everyone: 

  • Bring your lunch and recess as no canteen facilities will be available 
  • Bring your House spirit
  • Bring a water bottle and hat as it will be warm 
  • Ensure you apply sunscreen throughout the day 
  • Wear House shirts no interschool shirts 

 

Finish time: 

The carnival will aim to be finished at 2:50 so please arrange to have your child collected from Head Street Oval as students will be dismissed from there.  

 

Bus:

A bus for those who require it will be leaving St Philip’s at 8:10am to Head St and returning to the College by 3:00 pm when the carnival is finished. 

 

Do your best and have fun.
