Senior Athletics Day

By: Eilis Cassidy | Posted Friday September 23, 2022

We ask all students to be at school by 8:45am on the morning of Tuesday 27th. This will give teachers time to ensure students have signed in, applied sunblock and are organised into bus groups. The buses will leave school at 9:15am and return at 2:50pm. 

Please ensure your child has:

  • plenty of food and water
  • sunblock (if they require special sunblock)
  • school sunhat and polar fleece 
  • appropriate running clothes and footwear (bare feet are also fine)
  • warm clothing and wet weather gear 

Students will be competing in a number of events between 10:00am and 2:00pm. These events include sprinting, long jump, high jump, vortex and quoits.

Results will be recorded for each of the events throughout the day to help with the qualification process. Qualifying students will go on to represent Amesbury at the Northern Zones on Monday 14th November. We look forward to seeing everyone demonstrate their skills and enjoying themselves on the day. Please note that our athletics day will go ahead whatever the weather.

As athletics day is part of our school sports programme, all students are expected to participate. 

Finally, students can come to school in their activewear on Athletics Day. 

Warm regards,

Eilís (Sports Coordinator)
