School Athletics Day
Our whole school Athletics Day has been scheduled to take place on Friday 25 October 2024 at the Athletics Grounds on Vogel Street.
WHEN: Friday 25 October 2024 (back up date Friday 01 November 2024)
WHERE: Cambridge Athletics Grounds, Vogel Street
TIME: 8:30am to 3:00pm
SIGNING UP FOR COMPETITIVE EVENTS:
All students will receive an email from Mrs Hawkins. The email contains a link to a Google Form to sign themselves up as a competitive athlete - this is completely optional.
All students who don't sign up competitively, will compete non-competitively. Students do not need to sign-up for non-competitive events.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for PARENTS/CAREGIVERS:
Gazebos: we are looking for extra gazebos to offer shade to our students and staff – do you have a gazebo we could borrow on the day? If you do, please email our school office, thank you.
The Cy-Co Coffee cart will be on site from 8.30am (cash and eftpos) and we are also selling Ice-Blocks, $1 each, cash only.
All students are to go directly to the Cambridge Athletics Grounds on Vogel Street in their PE gear and with their school bags containing their lunch, snacks, drink bottles, sunscreen etc. They do not need to wear school uniform.
It is extremely important that students are at the Athletics Grounds by 8:30am at the latest as we are going to have a briefing at 8:45am and start promptly at 9:00am.
Bus students - a staff member will meet our bus students and walk them to the Athletics Grounds and then back again before 3:00pm.
Students are allowed to bike and scooter to the grounds and park their bikes and scooters tidily behind the 100m marshalling area by the clubrooms.
Non-bus students will be released at 3.00pm to go home directly from the Athletics Grounds. If you want to collect your child earlier, please go with them to the Athletics Clubrooms and sign them out with our staff member.
Parking will be available on the roadside and also next to the athletics track. Follow the sealed driveway and park on the grass under the trees.
Please use the button below to access the timeline for the day - times are approximate and if we run behind for finals and relays we will use 100m and 200m times instead and will have to skip relays altogether. We may be able to hold finals at school on a day when all the runners are available.
