This year I ran the Senior Athletics Day and helped run the Junior Athletics Day. This was a great experience as we had Kelly Sports onboard with providing coaches for each activity. Both days really well and the students had a great time.
Usually Athletics Day is a school wide event. However, due to the weather this year, we split it over two days. The Juniors had their day on the Tuesday and the Seniors had theirs changed to the Friday.
In previous years they have been all tabloid events such as obstacle courses, egg and spoon race, etc. This year we decided to change it and give the seniors more competitive events they'd be competing in for Inter-School Athletics. This included high jump, long jump, discus, shot put and sprints. I felt as if this would appeal more to the seniors given they enjoy more competitive activities.
Each teacher was given a recording sheet to find the top three for each event. This made it much easier to choose those students coming to Inter-Schools.
Overall, these both successful days and everyone enjoyed themselves. I was very happy with how the Senior Athletics day went as I organised that.
