On Monday 4th June 2018, The Entrance Public School will be holding our annual K-6 Athletics Carnival at the Mingara Athletics Centre. The cost is $3.50 for entry into Mingara, the bus fare is covered by school. The 3-6 carnival commences at 9:15am and the K-2 carnival commences at 10am. Students can either meet at the venue (9:15am yrs 3-6, 10am yrs K-2), OR come to school as normal and be transported to Mingara Athletics Centre by bus. Students in years 3-6 who are competing in the 800m, and are travelling by bus will be required to be at school at 8:30am to catch the earlier bus. These students will meet under the COLA and be supervised by Mr McInnes.
All other students will assemble at normal morning time of 9:15am at school where class rolls will be marked. The year 3-6 students, plus those students in Year 2 who are competing, will then travel to Mingara in class groups first at approximately 9:20am, followed by the K-2 students at approximately 10:15am.
Once at the athletics centre, Year 3-6 will split into age divisions. These students will compete in track and field events on a rotational roster and will remain with that group until the end of the carnival. On arrival K-2 will compete in non-competitive tabloid based activities organised by our 'Sport in Schools' professionals.
Before being bussed back to school the classes will reform and class lists will be marked to make sure everyone is accounted for. If you wish to take your child home from Mingara you will need to inform your child's classroom teacher and/or the teacher supervising your child/children at the time so that their names can be crossed off.
If any child is going home with a relative or friend they will need to bring a note to the class teacher before the carnival. We will be returning to school in time for the normal finish of school.
Students are expected to wear sports uniform. The students should bring water, a hat and sunscreen, as well as adequate protection from possible cold weather. Shoes must be worn in all events.
P&C will be running a BBQ offering bacon and egg rolls and sausage sandwiches. Canteen facilities will also be available.
Students who are asthmatics are required to bring their puffer with them.
If the athletics carnival is going to be cancelled due to wet conditions, students will be notified on the school Facebook Page and via the office from 8:30am.
