ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
Parents and family members are invited to attend our Athletics Carnival being held at Barlow Park on Thursday, May 29.
After the success of last year, the 800m event will again be held at Barlow Park, on Athletics Day. These runners will arrive and complete their event prior to the commencement of the main carnival.
Students are required to make their own way to and from Barlow Park for the event. We ask that students not competing in the 800m do not arrive prior to 8:15 as staff will be busy setting up for the day and managing the 800m event, and unable to supervise them.
Students are required to wear their House Team shirts, appropriate running footwear (no sandals) and school hat, and pack plenty of water, a healthy lunch and snacks. The canteen will be open with a range of food, cold drinks and snacks on sale. No pre-ordering; purchase at eating times with cash only.
Please apply sunscreen before arriving. More will be available for students to reapply during the day.
Students are required to sit with their team throughout the day and parents are welcome to sit in the house team areas. Class teachers will mark the roll in the grandstand at 8:30. Any students leaving early must be signed out by a staff member at the First Aid station at the top of the grandstand before making their way to the main gate.
Early exit from the carnival closes when the presentations begin. Students cannot be signed out after this time and are required to stay until the conclusion of the carnival.
