The Upper South Athletics event is one week away.
The event is again at Saxton Stadium, below are some helpful hints and information about the day:

• Tyler McLean is again running the event website uppersouth.events. This holds all the information about the day as well as being updated on the day with results as they come in.

• Nelson students are expected to be at school for 8.40am as normal in their school PE kit (house tops). Please help your son/daughter ensure they have the correct school uniform for this day. Students will be shuttled across to the stadium
• Marlborough and West Coast students should arrive at the stadium by 9.35am
• Events start with the 100m heats at 10am followed by the finals.
• If students are using spikes to run in there are expected to use starting blocks to protect the track
• Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and bring sunscreen and hats or jackets and blankets.
• The track area is surrounded by a fence it is vitally important for our health and safety management that only staff, volunteers supporting the field events and students who have to compete go inside the barrier. Please ensure all family, friends and siblings remain outside the barrier. You can walk around the barrier and get a good view of your child competing in their track or field events.
• Students have now confirmed their event selection. This event is about participating and being part of their House as well as a chance to excel and reach their potential. Please celebrate everyones’ performances so they enjoy the day to the fullest.
