A word from Acting Principal, Andrew Whiteman
"While we celebrate the triumphs of Athletics Carnival, we also acknowledge every competitor who gives their best. We urge all students to show humility and respect, both in victory and in defeat, and embrace the adventure that Athletics Carnival brings."

First Aid
To support the safety and wellbeing of all participants a dedicated First Aid station will operate throughout the event.
The First Aid tent will be located on the grass beside the oval in front of the Gym next to the ambulance, creating a clearly visible treatment area.
Students and staff who require medical assistance during Sports Day are asked to attend the First Aid tent rather than the Health Centre. Clear signage will be in place to guide anyone needing support. This approach allows prompt triage and care while ensuring the day runs smoothly for everyone involved.
