During the week students from years 2-6 were excited to prepare for the athletics carnival in a special visit from the Little Athletics Program for Schools (LAPS) team. The students had the opportunity to develop basic running, jumping and throwing skills by participating in highly active sessions on our oval with fully qualified Australian Track & Field Coaches.

The focus was on group participation, team morale and lots of fun activities. Our teaching staff were also given the opportunity to refresh their athletics teaching skills, while all students received a wrist band and certificate on completion. Campbell Primary chose to focus on sprints, long jump and shot put to ensure that every student had the tools to participate in our athletics carnival successfully and confidently. The result was very high participation in all events across the athletics carnival, making the house point race tighter than ever! All students are to be commended on their learning efforts and respectful behaviour across the LAPS visit.
