Athletics News

Please see the list below of the students who have qualified for the Belconnen Athletics Carnival. This carnival will be held on Tuesday 15 August at the AIS. Parents will be required to drive their children to and from the venue and entry for each student will be $10. Teacher supervision for the day will be provided. 

Permission forms, schedule of events, and further information will be sent out later this term or early next term. If your child does not want to compete at the Belconnen Carnival please let me know as I will be able to offer an opportunity to another student. 

Please note the following with collating our results:

• For each event, the top 2 students qualify per age group based on times run and distances thrown/jumped.
• Discuss was conducted at school for interested students. 
• 8 and 9 year olds can only qualify for 70m and 100m for regional carnival. SSACT rules state that no children under 10 can qualify for the ACT team to go to Nationals.
• Results for field events for 8-10 year olds are grouped together. 
• 70m for 8 and 9 year olds, 100m for 8-12 year olds and 200m for 10-12 year olds are run in their own age group.
• 8 and 9 year old 200m and 800m are placed separately at our school carnival but cannot progress to regional carnival.

For any students who missed our school carnival but would like to be considered for selection they will need to fill out a form. This form will be made available early next term by SSACT, but does NOT guarantee selection. You will need to be able to provide verified times/distances from a local athletics club and provide sufficient evidence of the medical reason you child was away. Generally, SSACT do not accept holidays as a reason to be included.
