Junior Carnival (Years 3 & 4) – Thursday 12th June

Senior Carnival (Years 5 & 6) – Friday 13th June

The Athletics Carnivals will take place at Moore Park in Week 8. Students will walk to Moore Park in their class groups and participate in a variety of events during the day. Parents are most welcome to attend.

There are two main objectives for our carnivals:

• Participation and having fun. We want all students to come and give it a go. Although there will be some ‘racing,’ at the novelty/participation events with no official winners, all students will receive a point for their house for each event that they participate in.
• Provide a competitive environment for our top 10 athletes from each age group and gender to compete in straight finals for Running (100m, 200m and 800m), High Jump and Shot Put events. The result of these events will get our age champions and give the opportunity to our best athletes to represent Indooroopilly State School at the district Track & Field trials in July (students born in 2012/2013, 2014, and 2015 ONLY).

Age Champion Points System: Students that have been selected to compete in Division 1 events, will have the opportunity to claim an Age Champion medal for each age group and gender. Competitors that place between 1st to 5th will receive points. Students who have collected most points across all disciplines, including Running events (100m, 200m and 800m), High Jump and Shot Put, will become Age Champions for the 2025 carnival’s edition.

Division 1 Events: On the week of the carnivals, we will share with all classroom teachers the list with all the competitors for Division 1 Finals for High Jump, Shot Put and 100m & 200m sprints. Teachers will notify all the children from their classes if they appear on any of these lists before the events.

Message to the students – Reminder about 800m Races:

Any students who wish to compete in the 800m, needs to get their name marked off before 8.50am with their class teacher and then meet at Sandstone Steps on the morning of the event.

You should only nominate for the 800m if you know that you:

Ran in the competitive race at Cross Country.

Ran the whole way without stopping or walking.

Know that you are a strong long-distance runner.

This event is not a participation event. Only the top 5 runners in each race score points for their house and for the Age Champion contestants.

Wristbands and ID numbers:

On the week of the carnival, all students will receive a coloured wristband depending on their year of birth, so everyone knows where to go during each rotation of activities. Classroom teachers will ensure each student have the correct wristband for their participation.

We have asked that ONLY competitive students (Division 1 events) write their ID number on the wristbands to facilitate the recording of the results throughout the day.

Parents volunteers: We are still seeking parent volunteers to assist these carnivals, particularly individuals with experience in athletic events. Any parents who are interested in contributing their time and expertise are encouraged to contact us via email – Thanks to those parents who have already contacted us!

Filming/Photos at the carnival:

Parents please we aware that the school has a strict policy for students’ privacy protection. We kindly ask you to be respectful with our request that parents do not film and/or take photos where other children are identifiable. Thank you.

Dates and Carnival Programs

Please note all times listed above are approximate. Rotations will take approximately 45 minutes. An announcement will be made when students need to move to their next rotation.

Long jump trials will be ONLY over Weeks 9 and 10 this term during PE lessons. We will give an opportunity to students to trial for this event at the end of the term. The top 3 students for each age group and gender that meet the highest district qualifying distance will be nominated to compete at the district track & field trials for this discipline.

Long Jump Trials: Only for students born in 2012/13, 2014 and 2015 at school during weeks 9 and 10. Students interested in trailing for long jump should contact our PE teachers before Monday 23rd June.

Nominations for all other disciplines will be based on 2025 ISS athletics carnival results and compared to the district qualification marks accordingly. Parents from students that are nominated for any track and field district trials events, will receive an email with all the information/paperwork after our athletics carnivals.

Interschool Sport

Unfortunately, the backup day for sports on Friday 30th May was also cancel due to wet weather. We thank all teachers from Years 5 and 6 involved in supervising students, organizing teams, and refereeing games!

We hope to have nicer weather next term when the second season of sports starts again in Week 5. We will share more information about this at the beginning of Term 3.

Celebrating success in sport

We are proud to congratulate the following students who have been selected to represent our school in District, Regional and State sports teams:
