Senior Athletics Carnival

Monday 27 March sees the Annual School Athletics Carnival at Homebush.  This is one of the highlights of the school calendar and allows all boys in the school the opportunity to compete in any number of track and field events during the carnival. Participation and enjoyment are seen as paramount for the day.  

The Championship races on the track for Years 7-10 are based on the Athletics Trial performances from earlier in Term I. For boys in Years 11 and 12, the Championship races are based on the previous year’s performances. However, for boys running in division races, their times are compared to the results in the Championship races, and therefore they can still receive Championship points for their performances. The track events on the day include the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, Hurdles and House 6 x 100m Relay (with the 1500m races contested before the carnival), while the field events involve the High Jump, Long Jump and Shot Put. The boys simply need to turn up to the marshalling area on the carnival day to compete in their chosen events. We look forward to an exciting and enjoyable carnival day next week.
