ATHLETICS WEBSITE AND HANDBOOK

If you are looking for details related to our ISS Vikings it is important to note and bookmark our Viking Athletics Website and Viking Student Athlete Handbook. If you find that something is missing please contact us so we can update them with the necessary information.

NECIS and CEESA SAFETY AND SECURITY MEETINGS

These meetings are compulsory and important for the athletes so they can understand procedures and expectations related to the upcoming tournaments. Parents are very welcome to attend also. Please check recent updates for the tournaments to note details of dates / times for these meetings.

VIKING BOOSTER CLUB

Currently we have 2 / 3 parents who are the main organisers for this group and they do an amazing job but we are looking for others who have ideas and are also able to help out with fundraising activities to support the Viking Athletes. Please contact Mr Floyd if you are able to support the Viking Booster Club as this is an important part of the athletics programme at our school.

Recently some of the Viking athlete families had their invoices reduced because funds they raised via the booster club activities were used. This is an important part of supporting our athletes.

EXCUSED TRAINING SESSIONS

MS cross country students are excused from training on Wednesday 30th October due to student conferences. We will see you at training the next session.
