2021 SJRC Athletics Carnival Information

The SJRC Athletics Carnival to be held on Tuesday the 13th of July is definitely going ahead.  The only change is unfortunateluy no spectatros are allowed on site. 

Traditionally this is an excellent day of competition, participation and fingers crossed – great weather.   Students compete in Houses for the coveted CC Adams Shield.

Students may wear house colours to and from the College on Athletics Carnival Day.

The day starts immediately after PC with a rotation of six events.  Students will move through this rotation in their age groups (age they turn this year).  The events are 100m, shot putt, discus, long jump, javelin and 200m.  Lunch will be held around 12:45pm.  One of the highlights – the 100m finals and relays conclude the competition.  Presentation of Age Champions and runners-up as well as Champion House will complete the carnival. 

A fundraising sausage sizzle and drink stand will operate all day and is part of the 100m rotation.  Students have option to purchase a sausage sandwich ($2) and/or drink ($2) after their 100m race.

The top two competitors in each event will be named in the SJRC Athletics Squad to compete at the Diocesan Carnival on Thursday 12th of August 2021.  This carnival is also a selection trial for the Diocesan Athletics Squad to attend the CCC Carnival on Friday the 3rd of September which completes the school pathway.
