We are excited to announce that our Years 3–6 Jumps and Throws Athletics Finals Day will take place on Wednesday 10th September (Week 8). This event is designed for students who have ranked in the top 8 boys and top 8 girls in their year level for field events, including Shot Put, Turbo Javelin, and Long Jump.

In the lead-up to the finals, all students will participate in practice sessions during their PE lessons and will be given multiple opportunities to qualify. Families will be notified if their child qualifies for an event, with further details to follow.

Event Schedule:

• Years 3 & 4: Rotations begin at 8:50am

• Years 5 & 6: Rotations begin at 11:20am

The top 4 performers in each event will earn points towards individual championships, contributing to the titles of Champion Boy and Champion Girl.

We will then wrap up our athletics program with the St Simon Peter Tabloid Carnival on Friday 12th September (Week 8). The final event—the 100m sprint—will take place during the carnival and determine the last of the championship points. Medal presentations and the announcement of the winning House will also be held on this day.

Please note:

• The 400m and 800m events will be run during regular class time, with results shared on SeeSaw.

• Families will be notified if their child is selected for the Interschool Athletics Team, with more information to come closer to the event.

We look forward to a fantastic day of friendly competition and celebrating our students’ efforts and achievements!

Kind regards,
