Region Track & Field Championship - Parent Duties

The 2020 SMR Regional Track & Field Carnival is taking place at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve in Murrumbeena on the 15th and 16th of February 2020.  There is no regular program at Mentone next Saturday the 15th February.

For parents of participating athletes at the SMR Track & Field Carnival, please read on.

Please check SMR Regional Track & Field Information page and timetable and then click here to email Alexandra Woods with your timeslot preferences (alexandra.woods10@gmail.com) by 7pm Tuesday 11th February so that she has time to build the roster.

Please remember that these events can't be held without lots of parental assistance. We are all expected to perform one duty per day, per child participating in the event and failure to perform your allocated duty will result in forfeiture of your $50 Parent Duty Bond. Note that if you have multiple children competing, you may be allocated one duty per child, per day they are competing. 

Parents on duty, please be mindful of the following:

  • Closed-shoes are required when on duty - no thongs/sandals.
  • Please don't use your phones whilst on duty and no photography.
  • Please check-in at the Mentone tent 15 mins before your duty - don't go straight to your duty.
  • Failure to perform your duty puts unfair pressure on our committee and other parents, and will result in forfeiture of your Parent Duty Bond or even prevent your child from participating.
