Athletics Carnival

Athletics Carnival (Prep – Grade 6)

Burnie Primary School are holding their Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th of March.  This year we will be holding the 800m races on the Wednesday afternoon starting at 1:30pm for Grades 3-6. On Thursday the carnival will start at 9:30am and conclude at 2:45pm. The back-up day will be Friday 8th March.

Kinder students do not officially take part in the carnival but may visit at Recess depending on the day. Kinders will run their own mini version and let parents know when this will be happening. We will hold a race for siblings who are pre-school/kinder age. This event will occur during the recess break at approximately 10:45am. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Family members are most welcome to join us. We are unable to provide spectator seating so please bring camping chairs if you require a seat. To ensure the safety of our students, we ask that spectators remain in the designated spectator areas.

There will be limited parking in the school car-park. Please use Van Diemen’s Crescent. Also note that there is now a gate on the laneway from Burnie Primary School to Curraghmore Avenue. This gate is locked during school hours so you will be unable to walk through the lane to get to the school.

A checklist of reminders:

  • Appropriate clothing and footwear for running - running in bare feet or spikes is not permitted
  • T- shirt, or similar, in House colours –

             CURRAGHMORE (GREEN),   WYONA (BLUE),   OAKLEIGH (GOLD)

  • Lunch and Snacks. School bags will be taken to the oval. Canteen not available
  • Plenty of water to drink, in plastic containers
  • Hat and sunscreen
  • Asthma puffer (if required)
  • Warm clothing for cool weather

All children are expected to participate, however, if your child has a medical condition and is unable to participate they are still expected to be at school. If this is the case, please send a note to your child’s class teacher to explain the non-participation. Students are expected to remain with their house team throughout the day, unless competing in an event (track or novelty). We ask that students remain until the end of the day 2:45pm. If you need to take your child/children with you prior to the conclusion of the carnival (before 2:45pm), please see one of the staff members supervising the house areas. They will have a sheet where you can sign out your child. 

The school canteen will not be available.
