On Friday the 24^th of February 2023 Burnie Primary School held a 3-6 Running Carnival. The weather was hot and windy and students were excited to get up to the oval for the afternoon’s events. Students across the grades competed in long distance and short distance races with all students demonstrating their best efforts in all events. Our sports captains showed courage and leadership skills running two novelty throwing events. Leaders learnt two different throwing techniques in PE and were able to teach these skills to other students on the day. I would like to thank all the students for doing their best in all the events, staff for helping with recording, marshalling, and judging races, our groundsman Mick for marking the tracks on the oval and helping set up and pack up, and the sports leaders for running the novelty activities and helping set up and pack up. I would also like to extend our thanks to parents, carers and the community for coming along to support the students. In term 4 we are planning to hold a whole school novelties carnival similar to the one held in Term 4 2022. We hope to see many families attend this event as well.
