Transport

Some Reminders:

Bus students requiring transport are to get off their bus and remain at North Street and you will be directed onto the buses going out to Massey.

Non-bus students requiring transport to and from the track are to report to the Main Quad between 8.40am and 8.55am. If you go out on a bus, you may also return to school on a bus at the end of the day.

Non-competitors making their own way to the track must be at the track no later than 9.00am

Students being taken by car, please tell your parents to go up Summerhill Drive and around the back entrance via Old West Road. They will be turned away if they try and drive through the Massey ring-road.

Students cycling are to follow the instructions of staff on duty. Single file.       Do not go Old West Road.

Students walking are to use footpaths only and are to leave early enough to be at the track by 9.00am. Excuses for lateness will not be accepted.

Students requiring early transport due to being in the first few events starting at 8.50am are to be outside the Bell Tower at front of school by 8.15am.  You will be transported to Massey.

Note - The first events at 8.50am are:

  • Junior Pentathlon long jump
  • Senior Pentathlon javelin
  • Intermediate Pentathlon long jump
  • Senior Discus Championship
  • 300m Hurdles

Other Reminders

Students are expected to wear correct school uniform to and from the track and they will change into correct club uniform for events at the track (white shorts and club singlet).  It is advisable to bring wet weather gear in case the weather changes during the day.

Our young men will be outside all day and I would recommend that they bring appropriate sunscreen and the school cap.  Some shade and sunscreen will be available at this facility, but I encourage students to act responsibly to ensure they are protected from the sun.  In between events students should wear their school shirt if they want to protect themselves from the effects of the sun.

Students should bring their lunch as they would on a normal school day.  A canteen will also be operating at the ground, please note – cash and eftpos.  I would recommend that students bring a water bottle on the day as water will be available at the track.

Non-competitors are expected to be at the track in school uniform by 9.00am and to bring their club uniform for marching at the end of the day.  This is a school day and normal school rules will apply.

If the sports are postponed this will be announced via More FM (from 7.30am onwards) on the morning of Athletics Sports and students are expected to attend school as normal.  Should an alternative day be necessary a decision will be made when weather conditions allow.  Should you have any queries please contact the school office.
