Central Athletics

CO Athletics - Tuesday 4th November, Molyneaux Park, Alexandra, Postponement day Thursday 6^th

Hi all,

Your child has been selected to compete in the Central Otago Primary Schools’ Athletics day. See on back for events entered. Please note that there are some events where there is only one or no entries from our school. This is because the Central Otago standard wasn’t met for that event.

·       The event is being held at Molyneaux Park, Alexandra on Tuesday 4th November starting at 9.15am. Postponement day is Thursday 6^th.The Events times sheet is attached. Look out for Mr Winders who will be in charge of our team this year. We will have the green Arrowtown School gazebo to look for on the hill as our base.

·       On the day your child will need a packed lunch, a drink, sunscreen lotion and a sunhat. There is a canteen operating as well. They will be issued with school t-shirts and shorts at school. Uniforms need to be washed and returned after the event.

·       Take something warm to wear between events if the day is cold.

·       There is an entry fee of $3.00 per competitor to be paid to the school office by the Mon 3rd November.

·       I will put a notice on school website if the athletics is postponed by 7.30am.

·       Arrowtown School is in charge of the hurdles this year so it would be great if we could have some parent help to run them. Please enter a time below if you help.

·       Girls’ track events are in the morning with field events in the afternoon. Boys’ field events are in the morning and track events in the afternoon. See timetable attached. You don’t have to be there the whole day if you are only in 1 or 2 events but make sure you are at least 20mins before your event.

·       See attached sheet for events your child is in as well as all our competitors so as to enable you to look at ride-share possibilities. If your child needs transport to the event please contact me at school please indicate on the form below.

• A BBQ will be operating on the day, and a canteen offering a variety of food/drinks.

We are looking forward to a very successful and enjoyable day.

“Go for Gold!”

Arrowtown School Yr 3-8 Athletics

Tuesday 28th October – 2014

Arrowtown School

Hi all,

Our School athletics is on this Tuesday 28th October at the Arrowtown School. We are holding it at school this year as our numbers are increasing and we need more time to get through the events. By taking off travel time to and from the Events Centre hopefully we can get through them all.

If postponed it will be posted on the school website by 8.00am.

Postponement day is Friday 31^st  October.

We are not going to have a lunch break so the children are going to take their bags around the stations with them and eat and drink when they feel they need to.

Please ensure your child has a large packed lunch with plenty of snacks and drink bottle for the day. They will also need to be wearing appropriate clothing for athletics (i.e. no jeans) and have sun block and brimmed sunhats. No spikes on shoes.

Parent help Please!! – Like last year we hope to allocate two or three parents to each age group to go around the events with them and help at the stations so the parents can watch their children compete. Please indicate on the form below if you can help.

We expect every child to give it their best on athletics day and a high standard of sportsmanship and behaviour is also expected.

A note is needed if there is a medical reason as to why your child can’t compete otherwise they will be expected to take part.

The children who make it through to the Central Otago Athletics on Tuesday 4tgh November in Alexandra, will be notified in the following couple of days after our athletics.

Entries to Central are limited to 2 in the field events and hurdles and 4 in the sprints events, however they also have to meet the standard as well to gain entry.

Central Otago is for under 9’s and up.

Timetable – please refer to timetable on back of this notice.

Ages are at 1^st October.

Hope to see you all here on the day!

Thank you

Paul Winders
