Grade 3-6 Athletics Carnival
Date: Friday, 11th March
Time: 9:30am-12:30pm
Venue: St Leonards Athletic Centre
The Primary Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 11th March at the St Leonards Athletic Centre. This is our first sporting carnival of the year and the first opportunity to display house spirit and determination. Students have been preparing well in PE lessons for this carnival.
To ensure a smooth start to the day, students will need to present at school by 8:55am, to allow prompt departure of buses. We are aiming to start the carnival by 9:30am. All students need to ensure they are wearing their sports uniform, hats, bring a large drink bottle and sunscreen. Students are also encouraged to support their house by wearing ribbons, tops, zinc cream etc. of their house colours.

Students with asthma are reminded to bring their puffers for the day.
Students will be permitted to make lunch orders from the canteen on this day, as we expect to have returned to school by the start of lunch. The canteen at St Leonards Athletics Centre will not be open.
All students are expected to attend and participate in multiple events. This year, following COVID restrictions, there will be no novelty events such as the sack race, egg and spoon race and tug o war.
Due to current COVID guidelines and restrictions a decision has been made to not permit any spectators to this year’s carnival. Photos and videos will be posted to the Norwood Facebook page for your viewing after the carnival.
Students who are away for any reason may still be selected to represent NPS in the LSSSA Athletics Carnival, based on times/distances recorded at school. This will be held on Wednesday 23rd March at the St Leonards Athletic Centre. It is important that students who are unwell stay home.
