Central Otago Athletic Sports 2016

Monday 31^st October

All students attending the morning session of the athletic sports tomorrow need to meet Mrs Eastwood at 9:00am on the bank at Molyneux Park, where a roll will be taken.  Be sure that you have plenty to eat and drink in your bag, have your school sunhat and sunscreen. The weather may change during the day so bring something warm to put on.  A reminder that school teeshirts and black shorts are the school sports uniform along with the school tracksuit.

The long distance races start the day at 9:15 am and the 16 competitors for these will need to be warmed up ready to go.

Girls’ track events are in the morning with the boys’ track events after lunch (12:30).

When rotating around the field events please stay with your team and encourage them as you did at our school sports. Each group will be given another pamphlet tomorrow with the map and order of rotations along with the corrected entry sheet. (Sorry I had a few errors on the one that came home on Friday). Parents on the bank at the end of the sprints will also have copies.

Mrs Breen and Mrs Reilly will be in charge on the bank, along with Mrs Eastwood and will have the school 1^st aid kit with them.

Jack S, Bobbie, Mason, Sophie and Ana are only competing in the morning and will be retuned to school for the afternoon – help to transport these people would be appreciated. Lucas, Angus, Annajhay, Amber and Sylvie will leave school at 12:00 (by car, any offers?) to compete in the afternoon field events.

Thank you to Mrs Love x2, Mrs Valmai Breen and Mrs Williams who will be judging at the end of the sprints & long distance races.  A reminder that children may not head across the track at any time to see these people – this area is out of bounds.

There is a canteen offering a variety of food and drinks.

Should you have a problem I can be contacted on 021 449 296.

Enjoy your day – do your best – support each other.
