SCHOOL ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

We are looking forward to our Athletics Carnival next week. The children will travel to the Fearnley Dawes Athletics Centre in Newcastle West for a great day of running, jumping and throwing. Children will be showing the skills they have been developing in the PE program in which they have been participating. We hope to get under way by 9:45am.

Parents are welcome to attend and cheer on the children or maybe put their hand up to help in some way. Thanks to those who have already volunteered, Mr Watmore will be in touch to let you know your task.

There will be no Canteen facilities during the day, though we are offering a BBQ Sausage in a roll with a drink for those that might like that. Please go onto QKR to place an order. We made need 1 or 2 volunteers to help serve the lunch. We will be stopping the carnival at 11:30 for lunch.

Presentations will be at an Assembly on the last day of school from 2pm.

CROSS COUNTRY

Our school Cross Country Trial will be held on Thursday 11 April in the school grounds from 9:30am. Three runners from each age group will be eligible to represent the school at the Diocesan event as long as they meet the Diocesan qualifying time.

Children who wish to qualify for the Diocesan event to be held on Wednesday 15 May need to finish their race under the following times:

We encourage all the children to get out and have a go – whether it be just to walk, skip, hop or just have a bit of exercise with their friends. Parents are welcome to spectate – or even join in if they wish.

We will start our races at 9:30am on the top field. All are welcome to come along and cheer the children on - or join in yourselves.
