Gr3-6 Athletics Carnival

The School Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 4th September at St Leonards Athletics Centre, with the
first event commencing at 9:30am.
Please note, students will need to bring all food and drink for the day as there will be NO CANTEEN. Please also
ensure students are prepared for a full day outside, with a hat, sunscreen and something warm to wear if
necessary. Students can wear PE uniform to school and buses will take them to St Leonards at 8:55am and
return them to school for the end of the day pick up. All students are expected to attend and will need to stay
for the full day.
Whole school participation is high on the agenda for this carnival. The program has been designed to ensure
students get the opportunity to participate in a range of events and reflects the NIJSSA Carnival. The program
for the day is attached. Students will participate in all events for their year level and are encouraged to do their
‘personal’ best. The morning will involve each age group travelling around events with their teacher in charge and
the afternoon sitting in House Groups to watch and participate in relays.
We are looking forward to an excellent day of participation, fun, excitement and good sportsmanship.
This particular carnival requires a LARGE number of parent helpers, and I would really like as many parents to
volunteer as possible, please if you are available return the form below to the school via class teacher
