Mr. Veley, Ms. Wright and their organizing team have arranged our Track and Field Day for Wednesday, May 20 (with the rain date being Thursday, May 21). Students have been practising during their gym classes (and it isn’t unusual to see students practising the Long and Triple Jump at recess either!). As you can imagine, there is a great deal of work involved from signing students up for the various events, to having all of the required equipment ready to go, to lining the track (which is a huge all on its own).  Thank you also to Mr. Cox, who will be helping to line the track (and a massive supporter of the day), and Mme Davis, who helps organize the day and also coaches the Track and Field team. Â
Thank you to Mr. Veley for bringing in his rototiller and keeping the jumping pits in great condition!
Please keep an eye on the weather as our Track and Field Day approaches. One never knows what the weather will bring, and it is always a good idea to come prepared with:
– sweaters/track pants/light jacket if it is cooler in the morning
– t-shirt and shorts as the day warms up
– proper running shoes (students are not allowed to wear footwear like flip flops, crocs or boots)
– a hat is always a good idea even if it as cloudy as students will be out for the majority of the day
– sunscreen is also a good idea (even on cloudy days)
Please have your child bring a full lunch with a refillable water bottle.
Finally, keep your fingers crossed for great weather on our Track and Field Day!
