On Tuesday, 3rd August all Grade 5 and 6 students will be involved in the NWPSSA Grade 5-6 Sports Expo at various venues around Burnie and Somerset.  Boat Harbour Primary School students will be participating in football at Burnie High School, soccer at McKenna Park, netball at Burnie Netball Courts, King of the Court at the Upper Burnie Sports Centre and tennis at the Burnie Tennis Club.  In the event of poor weather, the back up day is Thursday, 5th August.

A notice was sent home with students yesterday advising which sport your child will be participating in.

To ensure all students are at the designated venue for their sport before commencement at 10.00am, the bus will be leaving school promptly at 9.00am.  Please ensure your child is at school on time, as the bus will not be held for latecomers.  Students will return to school after the Expo by 3.00pm.

Sports clothes should be worn on the day, ready to play (track pants or shorts and a school top - be prepared for cool weather).  Sandshoes or sneakers are of extreme importance, and we suggest bringing a change of shoes and socks and a plastic bag for muddy clothes.  Students will need to bring a packed recess and lunch and plenty to drink - no canteen facilities are available.

Children playing soccer will need to bring shin pads if they have them.  The school does have a small number of shin pads that children may borrow.

Due to there being strict venue limits on the indoor venues, a blanket ruling of NO spectators at this even in any venue has been implemented to avoid confusion in our north west community.

If the Sports Expo is postponed due to the weather, an announcement will be made on Sea FM and posted on the NWPSSA Facebook page, and classes will continue as normal.
