Athletics Term 4

RUN, JUMP, THROW!

In PE, we are completing rotations of athletics in order to prepare to compete in our athlete competitions. 

Instead of one athletics day, athletic events are run over the first 5 weeks of Term 4. Each day there will be an event at lunchtime for students to compete in should they wish to. 

I highly encourage all students to take up the challenge and participate in as many events as they feel comfortable doing. 

Below is a rough timetable of events. Please note: If we have one day of rain (or some event) where the events are postponed then the timetable will change. 

Students will be kept up to date on the events through the daily informer and agenda. 

High jump will take place on a wet lunchtime.
