​​​​​​​​​​​​Barnard V's Ellison Athletics Carnival

Dear Parents and caregivers,

Please join us for a celebration of sport and team spirit!  Our 9 to 12 year old students will run their 800m races from 8:45am on Thursday 30th May and the whole school will participate in our Athletics Day Carnival on Friday 31st May.

At 8:45am teachers will mark their roll and students will assemble in the undercover eating area. The march past and war cries will begin at9:00am.  Students will be allowed to compete in events with bare feet, with the exception of shot put for the 9-12 yr olds.  Please ensure your child has a hat and water bottle, these will stay with the students for the full day.

Pre-ordered food will be available at both lunch breaks.  Please note packed home lunches will stay in your child's school bags all day and not in a fridge.

Let's have a great day filled with plenty of cheers and support for the students.  We will also hold our most popular adult tug-o-war, ball games and toddler run throughout the day.

Please be aware that:

  • Asthmatics must have their inhaler on hand at all times
  • All students must have a hat & water bottle and 9 -12 year old students must wear closed-in shoes for shot put competition
  • Jewellery should not be worn during any school sport
  • School sport age is determined by year of birth (eg: born any time during 2012 = 12 years old in 2024)
