The Years K – 6 Athletics carnival will be held at ES Marks Athletics Field, corner of Boronia Street and Anzac Parade, Kensington on Friday 21 June.

Year 3 to 6 events will begin at 9.00am. Kindergarten to Year 2 will begin at 11.30am. Years 3 to 6 will be leaving SCEGGS at 8.30am, while Years K to 2 will have classes as usual in the morning, leaving SCEGGS by bus at 10.30am. Kindergarten to Year 6 events will run concurrently. The carnival will conclude for all girls at 2.00pm. Girls travelling back to school by bus will return by 3.00pm for a carline pick up.

All sporting co-curricular activities will run as usual and After School Care will be open.

Girls are asked to wear full PE uniform to school, including sun hats. Girls may decorate their uniforms with House colours, for example: T-shirt, socks and/or ribbons in House colours and hats decorated with House colours. Girls catching public transport to and from school must wear full PE uniform, adding their House colours upon their arrival at school and returning to full PE uniform before going home in the afternoon.

Things to Take

Girls: Sunscreen, sun hats, track suits or School fleece, recess, lunch, drinks and snacks.

Parents and Friends: There are no canteen facilities available at the track, and unfortunately the field does not permit schools to have their own refreshment stalls. Parents are asked to bring their own refreshments with them.

Transport/Permission from Parents

All girls should arrive at school at the usual time and will be travelling by hired bus from SCEGGS to the track. Girls from Kindergarten to Year 6 may leave the track with their parents, or parents of friends, at the conclusion of the carnival, again only if permission from parents, in writing, has been received by class teachers before the day of the carnival.

Girls from Kindergarten to Year 6 will not be given permission to leave the field before the end of the carnival. At the end of the carnival, girls leaving the field with parents must inform their class teacher, in person and be marked off on the roll to signify they are leaving.

Inclement Weather

In the case of inclement weather, the carnival may be cancelled. In which case a normal school day will proceed. A decision will be made at 8.00am. This information will be available on Clipboard. Please ensure you have notifications enabled on Clipboard.
