Athletics Carnival Programme 2023

Junior School: Wednesday 19 July Senior School: Thursday 20 July Combined: Friday 21 July

WELCOME Welcome to the 41st Annual Somerset College Inter-House Athletics Carnival. Thank you for supporting our Spartans during this important sporting event. We hope that you will be impressed by the standard of performances and positive attitude displayed by our students. The Junior and Senior Schools will have over 1,400 students competing in approximately 350 races over the whole carnival and approximately 112 field events, therefore around 14,000 throws and jumps. For 3 days each year, we expect our teachers to become Track and Field “experts”, so please be empathetic of their efforts in dealing with such an enormous volume of events and students. We hope the focus is on participation and House spirit. Instructions to Competitors If you find a field event and track event you are competing in are scheduled for the same time: the track event takes precedence. Inform the Field Event Marshal of your intention to compete, then report to the track event. Track events will not be delayed. You must return to the field event before its scheduled conclusion.

41st Annual House Athletics Carnival

APS TEAM SELECTION POLICY The Somerset House Athletics Carnival is not an APS “selection trial”. In each event, the top 2 placegetters do not automatically qualify for the Somerset APS Athletics Team. Please note that we ask all parents to remember and respect the fact that Somerset College Athletics coaches and the Director of Sport select the APS team based on many factors. Please accept that we are choosing a team based on what is fair and in the best interest of all students and the entire team. The Athletics coaches and Director of Sport maintain the right to make all selections, based on history of performance, recent form in class and practices as well as the “best fit” for the team. A squad will be selected, and the final team announced closer to the APS Athletics Carnival. Students will not be considered for too many events due to injury/fatigue/ performance concerns. Absent students with legitimate excuses will not be disadvantaged in selection. Reserves are reminded to bring their uniform on the day of APS competition, as it is likely that a number of reserves will be called upon to compete. Reserves may attend all day with the team or go to class, from which they will be sought if required. Educational research shows that it is best for children’s sporting, emotional, and personal development if parents/caregivers accept and support coaches in these selections. Boys and girls respond better to any selection disappointment when parent/caregivers encourage them to enjoy their chosen sport, relish being part of a team environment and do their best. Any students not selected in the APS team are welcome to continue training with the team on a daily basis.
