Fern Avenue PS - 2012 Track and Field
Yes, it’s that time of the year when the big buzz around Fern Ave PS, and for Athletics in particular, revolves around track and field.
This year’s surprisingly early track and field dates have us already preparing for our school teams. Our students are practising various track and field events during gym class, while division practices outside school hours will start on Thursday April 5th. Junior student practices will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 8:00-8:50, with coaches Roz Geridis and Sarantos Katsihtis.
We've also planned Track and Field days for the primary and junior students:
Primary - Wednesday April 11th in the afternoon
Junior - Tuesday April 17th in the morning
Teams will be selected based on a combination of records during practices and gym classes, and at the Track and Field days. Our goal is to challenge each student to try for their personal best and to enjoy participating in athletic events such as track and field.
Tryouts for senior students also start on Thursday April 5th, after school. Senior track and field coaches, Bogdan Nikolajevic and Brian Shreve, will make further announcements on upcoming senior event tryouts and practice times.
The TDSB Track and Field dates are scheduled as follows:
West conference - Tuesday May 8th @ Centennial Park
West Finals - Tuesday May 22nd @ Centennial Park
City Finals - Tuesday June 12th @ U of T Varsity Stadium
Students must bring their signed permission form in order to practice for track and field before and after school.
Each participant in our school track and field team will be provided with further details and guidance sheets on preparation, expectations, and event schedules during our upcoming meetings.
As with previous years we have a large number of our staff participating in preparing and practising track and field events with our students, and parents are welcome to contribute and assist with the team. Parents who are interested in coaching must attend a short workshop with the TDSB, if they have not previously done so, in order to work with our kids.
We at Fern Ave PS strongly believe that participating in physical activity and athletic events, such as track and field, are integral to our student’s health and to building character.
