ATHLETICS DAY
Date: 30th October
Time: 9am-3pm (8am for 1500m races)
Venue: Burnside Primary School Grounds (Next to Cobham)
Everyone will compete on the day and is expected to dress in their house colours. Their results will be calculated into a score, which will be collated to class totals.
Two strands of this athletics day will operate at once. If a student chooses Competitive they must compete in any Non-Competitive Strand events when no clash occurs.
Competitive strand –These events will be scheduled to start at certain times during the day and take priority over the challenge strand. There are no late entries whatsoever due to allocated heats etc. Each competitor will need to have their own scorecard to keep track of their athletic standards for house totals. **Andy will hand this out on the day**. Students MUST join their class for the non-competitive strand when clashed don’t occur. This means that everyone will be occupied all day.

Students will rotate around the events in their Classes and will be ticked off at the event. Each group will need a recorder who will write down each class members point standard (see athletic standard scoring system below) based on the time or distance they achieved in the event.
