Athletics Carnival 2023

The 2023 Sheffield School Athletics Carnival will be conducted on Wednesday 8 November. 

The carnival will be held across two locations:

• Secondary students will be competing at Sheffield Recreation ground,
• Primary carnival will be conducted on the southern oval at the school.

Students will be able to order lunch for the day and the normal school day menu will be available.                 

Orders can be made shortly through your child’s class.  Parents who may be attending can also order either on a lunch order bag, or on QKR.  Cold drinks, coffee and tea is available at recess and lunch times from the canteen.

Parents are warmly invited to view the competitions across the two locations and encourage the students in their endeavours.

We urge all parents and friends to follow the safety protocols that will be in use, especially around field and throwing events.

If you have any queries or questions please see the Health and Physical Education (HPE) team.

We are coming to the final few weeks of our first year of Concert Band here at Sheffield School! We are so proud and excited about the progress that’s been made by the students in the band, and we are looking forward to performing for you all at the end of the year. In preparation for this performance, we ask that all band members make a super special effort to get to every rehearsal!
