June 2018

On Sports Day students who come to school by car should be dropped off at Templemore Sports Complex for registration at 9.05am and be collected from there at 2.30pm sharp. Students who walk to school should come to school as usual for 8.45am where transport will be provided to and from the school to Templemore Sports Complex. Students who get a bus to school each morning will be picked up at their usual bus stop and brought directly to school where they will be transported to Sports Complex and back to school by another bus.

Students must come to school in tracksuits and must compete in their full PE kit. Students should have some money with them. There will be a hot food stall, refreshments and fun activities available on the day (the school website will have a full list of refreshments, activities and prices).

As we are making use of a public facility, we expect the very highest standards of co-operation and behaviour from all our students throughout the day. All parents/guardians are welcome to attend our school Sports Day where a range of sporting activities and fun events will be available. Parking is available at Templemore Sports Complex.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

Ms Paula Fleming
(Head of PE)
