Big Athletics Event

The event will be an inclusive sporting event for disadvantaged students in primary years 5 and 6 and Secondary years 7 and 8.

Students will have the opportunity to experience physical activities and sports they wouldn’t normally encounter in school, ranging from climbing and fencing to martial arts and ultimate frisbee.

It also gives the students the opportunity to gain cultural capital from visiting a university site and immersing themselves into this environment. Due to the events success among staff and students, the Big Athletics event is now an annual event.
