For the third year running, CPS has partnered with Little Athletics ACT to host the LAPS program as a lead into our school Athletics Carnival. 

Years 1-6 were excited to further their run, jump and “put” technique preparations just prior to last weeks’ carnival with a highly qualified specialist track and field coach.  Students enjoyed a range of games and fun activities through the 40-minute session, while also confirming the competition technique requirements for shot put and long jump.  Our teaching staff were also given the opportunity to refresh their athletics teaching skills and connect with online resources through the LAPS website.

Despite adverse weather sending the Year 1-3 sessions indoors, all students seemed to get a lot out of the opportunity.  This certainly showed at the carnival with some of the best technique and results in recent history - not to mention really outstanding participation rates!

We wanted to extend our gratitude to the team from LAPS and Athletics ACT for once again offering this wonderful free opportunity for Campbell Primary - it really has a big impact. We hope we see them again next year!

A big thank you to Mrs Penney for organising this.
