Y5-8 School Athletics Championships

Due to work being carried out on our own school grounds, we are holding this year’s Y5-8 School Athletics Champs at the Queenstown Recreation Ground across the road from our school.

· Thursday 22 February: 9.15am -2.55pm approximately

Postponement Day: Thursday 29 February

The event will commence at 9.15 and run throughout the day until approximately 2.55pm. Students are encouraged to wear their house colours, bring their sun hat, sunscreen, drink bottle and normal morning tea and lunch plus suitable footwear in which to compete. If your child is asthmatic, it is imperative that they bring their inhaler please.

For this year, we will have our School Athletics with qualifying students progressing through to the Wakatipu Athletics Championships on Tuesday 19 March. Qualifiers from this event will go through to represent the Wakatipu team at the Central Otago Athletics Champs on Wednesday 27 March in Alexandra.

All parents will be notified on Facebook, email and the school website in the event of a postponement, the night before or by 7.30am the next day.

Please note that all event times are approximate so please ensure you are early if you wish to see a specific event for your child.

As this is a new format this year, we would love some parent help to assist with measuring and recording results if you are free. If you are keen, please contact myself or Matt on the email below.
