Athletics day requires large volunteer numbers in order to run the events smoothly and within the time constraints of the day. Volunteers who are registered with the school are asked to nominate which area they would prefer to assist in - Junior, Middle/Seniors, along with a time estimate for when you are available on the day. Volunteers will be given a job for the time that you allocate.
