Athletics

We are coming into my personal favourite event of the year, the College’s Athletics Carnival. This is an exciting year for our athletics scene as we have made some key changes to the carnival:

• The first big change is that the pre-events have been condensed into a single day carnival on Thursday 15th June. In the past, these have run at lunch times in the two weeks leading up to the Carnival and many students have missed events because of this. This year, the following events will run during class time on the Thursday: 400m, 800m, 1500m, Javelin & Discus. Students must nominate for these events in order to participate!
• We are finally introducing High Jump as an event at our carnival. It is one of the most exciting events in a carnival and we can’t wait for our mat to arrive in the next fortnight
• For the first time, we have compiled all of our data from our 2020, 2021 & 2022 athletics booklets and created our first ever records book! I have attached a copy below. This year students aren’t just participating for Age Champion, Sports Awards and House points but also to have their name forever written in our history books.

The carnival is being held in Week 9 Thursday & Friday – June the 15^th and 16^th. Parents are welcome to come and watch but please sign in at the office. It is not compulsory for students to nominate for events for the Friday carnival, however encouraged. For the Thursday carnival it is compulsory for student to have nominated in order to participate. Students who do not nominate will be sent back to class on the Thursday. To nominate for the events please complete the following form:

https://forms.office.com/r/KzPY29A0rq

• 6/6 lifts with a 56kg snatch
• 76kg clean and jerk 
• a total of 132kgs

RAD

RAD is a general fitness program that we run at the college. RAD continues to run three sessions a week:

• Tuesday morning 7:15am – 8:10am
• Wednesday afternoon 3pm – 4pm
• Thursday afternoon 3pm – 4pm

If students are part of a major sport, it is expected they train twice a week. One of these sessions may be a RAD session. If the team coach has outlined that RAD is one of the sessions, students must get their name marked off by the teacher on duty to inform the coach.

If you have any question about the above please contact Justin Clifford at jclif117@eq.edu.au or contact the front office.

Thanks,

Justin Clifford
