St Saviour’s Primary School Athletics Carnival 2020
We are very excited to announce that we will be running an amended Athletics Carnival in line with the COVID-19 restrictions in Term 3.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions a total of only 100 people (this includes students and adults) can attend the carnival. Students will therefore be competing in events in PE lessons and in class/age groups (program below). Unfortunately, to adhere to the 100 people restriction, parents are unable to attend the carnival this year. Our main objective is to make sure the students get to compete in the Athletics Carnival. We are conscious that our Year Six leaders look forward to their final carnival and they will still get the chance to lead, cheer and help out over the course of the weeks. With Field Events being conducted during PE lessons, 1st, 2nd and 3rd (2011 – 2008) will not be able to be worked out until all students have competed in the event. All results will be recorded and winners for each age group will be announced at the following assembly.
Sprints, relays and ball games will be conducted by age groups and ribbons will be given to first, second and third. Unfortunately, due to the size of our oval, no 200m and 800m events will happen this year.
The carnival will take a total of four weeks to complete as outlined below and I thank parents and students for their understanding during this time. At the end of the carnival, age champions and an overall house will be announced again on assembly.
We have received notification that there will be no Zone Carnival or Darling Downs Athletics Carnival.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Miss Sleba or myself via email brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.

Athletics Carnival (Week One)
Students in Years Three to Six have been competing in High Jump (Photos Attached) this week and I have been very impressed with the quality of their jumps. 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be worked out over the weekend for age groups 2011 – 2008 and announced on Monday. Prep to Year Two have been participating in a mini hurdles race this week and what a lot of fun it has been (Photos Attached).
