2019 Year 3-6 Track and Field Carnival Permission and Nominations Form

Dear Parent/Carer,

This year, due to the timing of the National Track and Field Carnival, all State and Regional carnivals are occuring earlier in the year. Windsor State School has reflected this in our earlier timing of our school 3-6 Track and Field Carnival in order to be able to use this event to identify students to progress into the City District teams. The students born in 2007-2009 are eligible for District selection. In 2019, the City District is hosting a mini-meet which will include the 100m, 200m and 800m, with all field events being paper nominations (not contested at a City District Carnival).

On Friday 26th April and Friday 3rd May, we will be holding our Year 3-6 Annual Athletics Carnival as part of Health & Physical Education Program. Students will be involved in both track and field based events. The carnival aims to increase children’s skills; develop team work and our School Culture. The events the students will participate in will include: the track events of the 80/100m, 200m sprints, the optional 800m event and relay races; the field events of: discus, shot-put, high jump, long jump, or modified versions of these events (see below).

2019 Field Event Changes - Nominations Required

In order to maximise student opportunity, participation and enjoyment when competing in the field events, this year we are offering two streams for each field event. All students will be allocated to the House Points Only Stream unless a parent has nominated him/her for the Competitive/District Stream. Students may be nominated for one, some or all field events in the Competitive/District Stream. If participating in this stream, students will compete in the field event/s as per previous years (discus/shot-put/high jump/long jump). For students who are not nominated in the Competitive/District Stream, they will still compete in field events which have been modified to maximise participation, engagement and safety. These modifided events, still in a competitive style, provide the opportunity for students to earn multiple points for their House, with a focus on providing opportunties for more throws/jumps etc in the timeframe than in previous years. If you wish to nominate your child for the Competitive/District Stream for any of the field events, please do so by completing this form by Wednesday 3rd of April. Please be aware that such nomination is only required for field events. All students are automatically considered in the Competitive/District Stream for the track events.
