- Year 7: Wednesday 1st November @ STAC
- Year 8: Thursday 2nd November @ STAC
- Weather Contingency Day: Friday 3rd November @ STAC
MEETING TIMES: An earlier 8:30am bell will sound on both days and students/teachers are to promptly make their way to their Heaton classrooms for registration. After Linc-Ed has been completed, teachers will accompany their class to the St Andrew’s field (via Circuit St).
FINISHING TIME / ORGANISATION: The day is scheduled to finish at 1:00 pm. Students will be transitioned back to Heaton by their class teacher and they will have an opportunity for a lunch break until 1:45 pm.
UNIFORM: Students are to compete in their Heaton PE uniform (PE shorts please), with the option of wearing a house-coloured t-shirt and accessories. Please check with your teacher if you are not sure about your house colour.
Students must arrive at school in their PE Kit and house colours so they are ready to compete. Please note that our Heaton Athletics Day is not a mufti day, so jeans and non-athletic casual wear are not permitted. Students can transition home in their PE uniforms, so bringing your full school uniform will not be required.

- Packed lunch with healthy snacks (N.B. students cannot leave the venue to purchase or collect food from the school canteen)
