This year we are trialling a new program of events and using a different format for our timing and recording of results. We thank Corroboree Athletics for loaning us their equipment. We are hoping that the new format will improve the accruacy of the results and also allow us to run our events in a more time efficient way. All things going to plan, we hope to have the track events completed between 9:30-11am and welcome you to join us and cheer on your child. It will be difficult to provide more exact times of specific events and appreciate your patience as we trial the new structure. 

As we mentioned last week, we intend on running the carnival on the 22 June in all weather conditions. If it is deemed unsafe to go ahead we will look to alternate options but otherwise we will go ahead rain, hail (maybe not) or shine!

Students will walk to Kaleen playing fields with their classes, leaving at approximatley 9:10am and returning at approximatly 11:30am. Kinder will join us at 10:30am for their race. 

Our 3/4 and 5/6 teams enjoyed two great days of OzTag last week. All teams played extremely well with great team work and individual performances on display. A big congratulations to the 3/4 girls who won the North Canberra competition. They look forward to playing the winners of the South Canberra competition in the ACT championship later in the year. 

Congratulations to Mahli who set a new Belconnen Region Cross Country record. Mahli ran like the wind and shaved 35 seconds off the previous record. Well done, Mahli.
