By Hannah Sims | Posted: Monday October 21, 2024
We are thrilled to host our school athletics day this Thursday, the 31st!
When: Thursday, 31st of October, 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM.
Where: Caledonian Grounds
Timetable: All children will be bused to the Caledonian at 9:15 a.m., with the first events beginning at 9:50 a.m. Junior children will return to school by bus at 12:30 p.m., and the Seniors and Middles will return at 2:30 p.m.
Please inform your child's teacher if you intend to take your child directly to the Caledonian or back home.
While we will try to adhere to a strict timetable, we recognise that some events may start or finish slightly earlier. If you plan to watch a specific event, we suggest allowing for this.

On Athletics Day, your child will need:
School top
Warm clothes
Sensible sports shoes
Sun hat
Sunscreen
Lunch (No lunch orders online)
Drink bottle
Cancellation: In the event that we can not hold our athletics day due to weather, there will be a Seesaw message sent out on Thursday morning to inform you that it has been cancelled. Please note due to bookings at the Caledonian it was not possible to book a postponement day - this is out of control and we appreciate your support should the need arise to cancel.
Thank you: A big thank you to all our volunteers who have generously offered their time to help. Events like this would not be possible without you!
