2022 SJRC Athletics Carnival Information

The SJRC Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday the 19th of July.

Traditionally this is an excellent day of competition, participation and fingers crossed – great weather.   Students compete in Houses for the coveted CC Adams Shield.

Students may wear house colours to and from the College on Athletics Carnival Day.

The day starts immediately after PC with a rotation of six events.  Students will move through this rotation in their age groups (age they turn this year).  The events are 100m, shot putt, discus, long jump, javelin and 200m.  Lunch will be held around 12:45pm.  One of the highlights – the 100m finals and relays conclude the competition.  Presentation of Age Champions and runners-up, as well as Champion House, will complete the carnival. 

A fundraising sausage sizzle and drink stand will operate at lunchtime. Students have the option to purchase a sausage sandwich ($2) and/or drink ($2). We will be selling 200 sausage sandwiches and drinks only. Our College canteen will operate as normal. All money raised will go towards supporting St Joseph's, Coraki flood recovery.

The top two competitors in each event will be named in the SJRC Athletics Squad to compete at the Diocesan Carnival on Thursday 24th of August 2022.  This carnival is also a selection trial for the Diocesan Athletics Squad to attend the CCC Carnival on Friday the 12th of September which completes the school pathway.
