Athletics Carnival 2021

The Athletics carnival will be held this Friday 30th April at O’Connor Oval (directly across from the school on Macarthur Avenue). The carnival will run from approximately 9.15am-1.15pm and students will return to school for second break. Students need to ensure they have food and drinks for the day, as well as a hat and sunscreen. They may wear a shirt of their house colour with their sport uniform. Below is a run sheet for the carnival with approximate timings. Thank you to those parents who have volunteered to help.  Parent spectators are welcome to attend but are asked to maintain appropriate COVID safe practices.
