2023 Athletics Day
Athletics Day was once again a huge success! Every year is a ton of fun, and this year was no exception. Students enjoyed a day of participating in track, field and relay events, competing for valuable house points.
The event is held every year at the Trust Stadium, which is just a five-minute walk away from the school. The day started off with the all-important 1500m, then for the rest of the morning, college students competed in track events and primary competed in field events. The track events consisted of 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m and the field events consisted of shot put, discus, high jump and long jump. After a break for lunch, primary and college swapped, so that everyone had a turn at every event.
To finish off the day, there was the annual house relay races. They are divided into four categories: primary house relay, lower college house relay, upper college house relay and, everyone’s favourite, the Students vs Teachers relay. McDonald was victorious in the primary race, Findlay took the win in the lower college race and Whenuapai swept the competition in the upper college race, beating everyone by a good 20 metres. Unfortunately, the student’s lost tragically against the teachers, with Mr Jensen speeding ahead and putting so much distance between competitors, we couldn’t hope to catch up.
Another main aspect is the house spirit of Athletics Day, students dressed up in their house colours and wore their house shirts to gain extra points. Students did their house chant and cheered on fellow students.
Overall, the day ran very smoothly, and the entirety of Sunderland had an amazing time!

BTS of Athletics Day
As we all know, the annual Athletics Day just passed, and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did! I want to give a huge congratulations to everyone that won their races, and great job to everyone that participated! We’re all eager to see who won the house competition this year!
The lower college has been preparing for this event for weeks, with all their P.E. lessons preparing them for the different events. I’m aware that many of them planned to try and beat their personal bests on athletics day, and I’m certain many did so.
I want to give a great thank you to Mr Keen for organising the event, and the Sports Council for helping set it all up. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which no doubt helped the day run so smoothly. The school leaders and the Sports Council did the near-impossible task of being at school at 6 AM to set the entire day up (myself included)! We pushed through the heavy lifting job early in the morning, trying to get it done.
We started with a torturous early morning wake-up and drive through the dark sky. As soon as we arrived at school, we started lifting and transporting tables, chairs, boxes, water bottles, gazebos, and more. The most challenging part of the set-up was limiting the number of trips to the arena and the school. We had to use plenty of communication and listen to each other as well as Mr Keen. With someone in the trailer stacking, and the others handing them objects, there was so much going on, and being my first year in the Sports council, I was not expecting this!
As soon as everything was in the cars and trailer, we drove to the arena and unloaded everything. We then organised and set everything to its allocated position – including the occasional sunscreen around the track to ensure no one gets burnt! After that, we tested the speakers and through came the 1500-metre runners! We cheered them on as they competed in the longest race of the day while helping Mr Devereux with timing. Once all the age groups had finished the 1500m, we finished setting up and got ready to begin the day.
After the long, hot hours of sitting in the sun, running, jumping and throwing, it was time to pack up. This is when the school leaders and sports council began packing everything up as fast as we could. We did the same thing as the morning (while picking up heaps of rubbish), just in reverse order. The tricky thing about this was sitting and waiting in the hot sun while the trips to school were happening.
Overall, setting up and packing up was an exciting, but tiring experience. You get to wake up bright and early and hang out with your friends, but you also have hard labour to fulfil. We give a huge thank you to Mr Keen for organising the event, and it was very enjoyably for everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed participating and is excited about the next school event!

All activities run by Parents and Friends are fun, social activities that help to instil a feeling of belonging throughout all families attending the school. Meetings take place on the first Thursday of every month at 8.30am in the staffroom. Please let Mrs Sonya Eldridge know if you are interested in joining the committee by email: sonya.eldridge@acgedu.com
The next meeting is Thursday 2 February 2023.

Sunderland on Service at ACG Sunderland
Dear parents and students, as you maybe knowing service is a crucial value that should be practised by all ages. Here at Sunderland we want to recognise those who already do active selfless service at home or in their community, but most importantly we would like those who don’t really do active service to be given a chance and to be educated about service, and this can be reached through Sunderland On Service (S.O.S).
What is our Mission statement?
To develop the values of service and respect by helping others in our school and community.
To actively contribute within our communities, display values of selflessness, enthusiasm and determination.
How to get involved or get your badge?
We will be putting up information about different activities that can be done on our notice board and will be posting more information soon. You can collect a sheet at reception to fill in with your hours or find it on blackboard, and it can be handed back to reception so that we can award you for your outstanding service.
Anything you want to count as your hours should be done as a volunteer, meaning you shouldn’t be paid for doing it. Remember to keep the service age appropriate.
Below is the information for the badges:
