Representative Sport with Mrs. Sally Croker
Archdiocese Athletics
With the current situation the Canberra/Goulburn Athletics has now been abandoned as a physical meet. Those who had registered and qualified will receive the correspondence below:
Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Virtual Athletics Championships 2021
Congratulations on your selection into your Regional Track and Field Team.
You will now represent your Region at the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Athletics VIRTUAL Championships 2021.
As you are all aware school sport has been unable to go ahead on many levels due to COVID. This is unfortunate for the children and as this will be the second year in a row that athletics has been cancelled, so I thought it would be beneficial for our students if we were still able to celebrate the success they have had on the track and field so far this year.
After reading the below information, please respond to this invitation via the Google Form for your child to be involved or advise if you do not wish for them to be entered in this event by the 31st of August.
Entries – Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Virtual Athletics Championships
Entries have been submitted on behalf of your Region with the times, distances and heights that were performed either at your Regional (NR) or school events. Ribbons and Age Champions will be awarded based on these entries.
All participants will receive a Certificate of Recognition for their selection in their Regional Team to compete at the Canberra Goulburn Virtual Athletics Championships.
Selection in the Canberra Goulburn Merit Team
If your child would have gained selection in the Canberra Goulburn Athletics Team (top 2 in each event) to compete at the MacKillop Championships, they will additionally receive a Certificate of Achievement for their selection in the Canberra Goulburn Team. Although the MacKillop Athletics carnival will not be held this year, you will have access to the registration process for the MacKillop Carnival (no fee) so you are able to order any of the Archdiocese of Canberra Representative apparel if you wish to. Please be aware that postage will have to be paid for – it is set at a $12 flat rate.
Cost
Entry into the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Virtual Athletics Championships is $5 per student. This is to cover the cost of certificates, ribbons and medallions.
This fee will not apply for students that have not qualified for individual events but have qualified as an athlete in their school relay team.
If you have already registered and paid for entry into the carnival you have one of two choices:
- Have the whole amount refunded and withdraw your child from the Virtual Carnival
- Have $15 refunded and use the other $5 for your child’s entry into the Virtual carnival
For those that have not previously registered please do so by the 8th of September (I will send out registration instructions by the 3rd of September), there are also a limited number of Canberra Goulburn Athletics Championships Hoodies available – first in best dressed!
Please complete the Google Form to advise if your child will be participating or not. It is important that you do so even if you are not planning on having them participate. This is so I may award any placings and age champion points to the next child in line if your child had placed in any of the events.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at any stage.
Kind regards
Sherree Bush
Archdiocesan Sports Coordinator
