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.

- 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
