Shore Athletics Carnival 2025
The Annual School Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday April 1 at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre (SOPAC). This event is a highlight of the School calendar, offering all boys the opportunity to participate in a variety of track and field events. The day emphasises both participation and enjoyment, encouraging everyone to get involved and have fun.
Students are to arrive at School by 8.00 am for roll call in House groups wearing their full sports uniform, including a yard hat.
As food and beverage options at Olympic Park are limited, we recommend that all boys bring a packed lunch and their own water bottle.
Buses will transport students to and from the SOPAC stadium.
In 2025, a new process for Championship races on the track was completed via Clipboard, with individuals signing up for the races of their choice. Boys who run in non-championship races will still have their times compared to the results of those in the Championship races and, therefore, 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 on Monday 31 March and Opens 3000m on Thursday 3 April), 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.
