THEME AND ATTIRE
Childhood Sporting Heroes is the chosen theme by our student leaders. Please feel free to jump aboard this theme (think sporting team jumpers, specific athletes etc.) or simply wear your house colours. Comfortable clothes or sporting attire with runners is encouraged for all staff on carnival days.
ARRIVAL TIME AND PARKING
Please arrive at Ballam Park by 8:15am, unless specified earlier on the staff roster or if you are supervising on the shuttle buses. You can drive yourselves or buddy up with someone.
There are limited car parks near the Pavilion / front straight but there is plenty of parking around the back straight. Overflow can park on the grass between the track and Karingal football oval.
MORNING TEA AND LUNCH
Morning tea will be provided for staff and a complimentary coffee van will be available. Please pre-order your drink on the editable word doc and it will be delivered to you by staff on refreshment duty. Please do not go straight to the van to order yourself – it is a busy day for out barristers! BYO lunch.
OH&S REMINDERS
Please make sure you bring a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle to protect and hydrate yourself throughout the day. There will also be plenty of sunscreen around the track and taps to refill your water bottles.
ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Students are permitted to make their own way to Ballam Park. Upon arrival, they must check in and get their name marked off the roll by their Year Levels Leaders or Senior Student Coordinators. Early leavers from Athletics must not be approved on the basis of a same-day phone call with a parent, especially via student phone. Andi Swain will be located in the pavilion and will be overseeing all late arrivals / early leavers.
STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREAKS
Due to the fast-paced nature of the day and full program, we require adaptability, flexibility and teamwork from staff. There is no timetabled lunch break (the program does not stop) but each role is overstaffed, so please work together to ensure everyone in your team has a lunch break and the opportunity to go to the bathroom etc. If students are hanging around and eager to help - USE THEM. Get them to return shots/discus/voretex, rake the pits, measure etc.
END OF DAY
The carnival will finish at approximately 2:30pm. Students are to line up on the front straight of the track in pastoral groups for afternoon rolls to be taken. Pastoral teachers will be taking these rolls electronically, preferably on their own phones. Andi will bring some extra school phones if you are not familiar with how to do this.
Staff may leave the track once afternoon rolls have been marked. If you travelled to the venue by shuttle bus with students, you are required to return on the bus with students.
Please feel free to contact Madi Essing or Lisa Meddings if you have any questions prior to the day.

SHUTTLE BUSES
For students who take the public bus and students who cannot make their own way to the track, buses will be shuttling students to the track at the beginning of the day and back to JPC at the conclusion of the carnival.
JPC charter buses will drop students off at the track and then those buses will head to JPC to pick designated staff and students up. There will be at least two staff members on each bus. If students do not fit on the first lots of buses, a second trip will be made. Please fill up all the space on the first bus before filling the next.
Please meet the students at 8:15am at the bus bay. Last bus to leave JPC at 8:30am (students are aware this is the last shuttle). Once a bus is full, it can leave for the track straight away.
Ange Muccignat will head to the bus bay at 8:30am and hang around for 15 minutes (until 8:45am). Any late arrivals after this time will head to back to SS with Ange to call parents.
