Due to the popularity of the venue, it is impossible to book another day before the Zone Athletics Carnival.

*Kindergarten and Year 1 activities may be adversely affected by the weather.

Therefore, the carnival for those children in Kindergarten and Year 1 may be cancelled due to weather.

If that occurs, these children ONLY should come to school for normal lessons.

A decision will be made by 7:30am in regard to Kindergarten and Year 1.
