The program shown below will be run in stages with classes returning to their classrooms for their normal lessons when not required to be at the oval.  Families are welcome to attend to watch their child participate.

If you are a registered volunteer and able to assist the class teacher with the Sports Day activities, please advise your child’s teacher.

This term, we are hosting a Colour Splatacular School Fun Run to raise money for a very important project. As you know, we have a special focus on Ecology and Sustainability in our school. Accordingly, we are seeking to boost our Library Resources by purchasing 1000 books on Ecology and food production for our Curiosity Library. The Colour Run will take place on the oval after lunch. On the day, make sure your child brings a white or old tshirt for the Fun Run! Participating students will be covered in non-toxic, high quality colour powder and ooey gooey slime from head to toe!

The Canteen will be open on Sports Day with the available menu shown below.  Please order at the canteen or through the Qkr app.  Parents attending Sports Day are welcome to make purchases from the canteen.
