Attire
Students should wear their best athletic shoes for racing and their class/house colour. Students are encouraged to be over the top festive while ensuring it is comfortable to run in!
Reminder
Sunblock, labelled hats, labelled water bottle and labelled container for a healthy morning snack.
For the lunch break, we ask that primary students stay with their teachers in the classrooms. This allows for a quiet break in the ac and time to go to the bathroom, refill water bottles and allow for a restart. Parents are welcome to stay on the field for the break or leave and come back.
Parking and Cheering
Parking will be available at the front of the school and around the perimeter of the field.
Supporters are welcome to come in and out during the day to see their student athlete or stay for the whole time.
Concession Stand
The Somersfield Parent Teacher Association will provide a concession stand under the blue tent for supporters. Please bring in any baked goods or fruit when you arrive.
The stand will be open at the Children's House Sports Day on Wednesday, April 16th. As well as till 2pm at the Primary Sports Day on Thursday April 17th.
Please note, classroom teachers will take their class to get baked goods on their non-competing day. We encourage students to eat their own healthy lunch box on their Sports Day.
One last request, please help us create a competitive, encouraging and positive atmosphere for all students of all abilities. Please reach out to us if we can assist your child(ren) in any way.
