PRactise Rotations
Who: All students in Grades 4-6 will compete in the Elwood House Athletics Competition and Friday Athletics Practices.
When: Fridays 11:30am - 1:30pm during Term 3
Where: Various areas within the school grounds.
What: These sessions are to practise each event in readiness for our House Athletics Competition.
The students rotate around 3 different events each week. They are not used as a trial (unless House Aths is cancelled due to bad weather).
1500m event: As we do not have enough time for this event on the day of our House Athletics carnival, we use the results from the Friday sessions to select the fastest two competitors from each age group to compete at the Balaclava District Athletics Carnival.
Age Groups: Due to our large volume of numbers, students will be split into 2-3 groups per age group. They will be in either group A, B or C. These are NOT ability groups however.
Your child is in the age group of whatever age they are before the the 31st December (e.g. if you are 11 before December 31st, you are in the 11 year old age group).
