For decades athletics has played a major role in Barberton Primary School’s sports history. Every year starts with an athletics season, it determines the spirit and attitude of the trainees for the rest of the year. The role that athletics plays in our school’s “spirit” should never be underestimated. Boys and girls can practice a sports item together, with several staff forming the coaching team.

The duration of the athletics season is from the beginning to the end of the first term.
