Things happening in term 3
Week 5 – Monday, 18 August (Jumps, throws and middle distance) & Wednesday, 20 August (sprints & team games) – CPS Athletics Carnival
Week 9 – Wednesday, 17 September – Interschool Athletics Carnival at Wembley Downs PS.
Running Club
Running club is on Wednesday mornings starting at 8.10 am to 8.40 am . For new families to Churchlands PS, Running Club is where students run laps around the school earning points for their faction. Exercising in the mornings has many health benefits and is a great way to start the day.
Some benefits include:
- improved physical and mental energy,
- a better night’s sleep,
- reach your fitness goals,
- increased focus and concentration.
A reminder that mugs for Milo need to be placed on the table outside the undercover area before 8.25 am. Milo is an acknowledgement of the effort put in during running club.
It is encouraged that students need to run at least 5 laps to get a Milo. Turning up late won’t allow enough time to get 5 laps done.

2025 ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
Welcome to the 2025 Athletics Carnival
Below is an outline of the 2 days of events that will be held during the Churchlands PS Athletics Carnival. These 2 days are all about showcasing all the wonderful things they have learnt and improved on over the start of term 3.
Just some things that may be of interest to you for the carnival.
- This is not the Olympics, and all kids are out there trying their best.
- Mistakes will happen on the day and that is all part of learning.
- There is no standing near the finish line. A parents’ area will be marked to help you enjoy the carnival (Wednesday, 20 August).
- Ribbons will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in all individual events.
- Medallions will be presented to Overall Champion and Runner-up students for year 1-6 students. This is determined through their effort in 4 events: sprint race, middle distance race, long jump and throwing event.
- All students have been timed throughout the term, to help allocate them a sprint race for their age and stage. This was done using Sprint Timer, and information about Sprint Timer can be located here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sprinttimer-photo-finish/id430807521
