AORAKI ATHLETICS THIS WEDNESDAY CANCELLED:
Please see email below from our Regional Director
Good Afternoon All,
This afternoon Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced that all public gatherings and events of 500 people should be cancelled.
With this in mind we have made the decision to cancel the Aoraki Secondary Schools Athletics Championships planned for Wednesday 18th March.
Our number of entrants is higher than this number let alone the consideration of officials, managers, spectators and staff from our community.
While obviously this will be disappointing for a number of students and community members the decision is made with their health and safety our number one priority.
Over the next 48 hours we will gather more information and use this to make decisions on future Aoraki Championship events and other regional competitions.
It is expected that you will also receive some communication from School Sport New Zealand in the next 48 hours regarding events planned for the near future and tournament week.
Kind Regards,
Shaun Campbell
REGIONAL MANAGER – SOUTH CANTERBURY
AORAKI SECONDARY SCHOOL SPORT DIRECTOR
