The Cronulla South Public School Athletics Carnival took place on the Sylvania Athletics Track on Wednesday June 9th, 2021. Every student at the school participated in the carnival, and five incredible students broke school records.
The competitive activities that students over 8years old participated in were 100 meter sprints, 200 meter sprints, 800 and 1500 meter races, relay races, shotput, discus, long jump, high jump and several novelty activities tug- of-war, shotput golf (beanbag toss) and hurdles.
The record breakers of the school were: Will: 11 Boys discus, Max: Boys 1500 meter, Adele: Junior Girls 1500 meter, Sam: 11 Boys 100 meter, Emeline: 12 Girls 1500 meter. All students tried extremely hard to make it into Zone Athletics, the top two students in each event will participate in the Zone Athletic carnivals, next term. The students who broke records will be recorded by the school. Sam from 5/6N said he, “I felt a massive rush of adrenaline and was excited and felt a bit emotional” when he found out that he broke the 100m school record.
The Sporting Houses (Treloar, Marshall, Jackson and Davies) all competed in war cries, which are the chants of the house teams run by the Sports Leaders. They competed in making the loudest war cry among all the other houses. Jackson was the loudest and received the most points in the war cry.
Ribbons for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place will be handed out at the K-6 Assembly which will be held at 9am in the school hall Friday 2nd July, 2021 (Friday of week 10).
The CSPS students under 8 years old participated in the Novelty Athletics Carnival. The activities were skill-based, non-competitive athletic rotations. The students in the novelty activities had the same instructor as they have for the CSPS Got Game program, which is held at school. Every student who is under eight years old participated in the novelty events.
