Hot Weather Guidelines

In the event that the temperature forecast for the event day at 11am on the preceding day (i.e. Saturday 17th January) is for 36 degrees or greater, then the Hot Weather Program will apply.

Parent Responsibilities

Our centre has been allocated Track 2 to staff continuously throughout the day. We will divide the day into a number of shifts and will require 4 parents to assist on each shift. It is anticipated that each shift will last approximately 1 to 2 hours. All parents of competing children will be required to assist.

How it works

Athletes from the under 6 to under 10 age groups are able to choose five events (with at most 3 track or 3 field) and under 11 to under 17 six events (with at most 3 track and 3 field). Athletes who do more than the maximum number of events, or too many track (or field) events will not have their results recorded for the additional events. Athletes select when they will compete in their events based on the program, which will be distributed before Personal Best Day. On the day, the athletes go to their individual events. Track events will be marshalled at the starting line for the event. Athletes should report directly to their field event areas, and put their name down on the recording sheet. Due to the large number of children attending Personal Best Day, it is important you schedule events across the whole day, as it will not be possible to get everyone through before lunch time!

All children competing in Personal Best Day will receive a certificate showing their results at our next Centre meeting following Be Your Best Day.
