PE NEWS

Welcome back!! 

We are looking forward to another exciting and busy year in PE. 

Below is an outline of our sporting events for Term 1.

GRADE 5/6 INTERSCHOOL SPORTS & GRADE 3/4 SPORTS ROTATIONS

Friday 26th February Grade 5/6 will commence their training for Summer Interschool Sports in preparation for their first game on Friday 12th March. 

During the weeks there is no Interschool Sports games students will be with their coaches training. 

The following are the Summer Interschool Sports and the coaches:

Soccer 6                 Patrick

Volleystars             Anthony 

Tball                        Claire

Cricket 9                 Matilda

Netball                   Mavis

Grade 5/6 students will be notified of their sport next week. Parents have been notified via Operoo of the Interschool Sports dates and venues for the term. We ask that you please ensure your child’s medical information is up to date and give permission for your child to participate. Interschool Sports is part of the school curriculum and all students are expected to participate.

Grade 3/4 will be involved in sports rotations during training weeks. They will get the chance to try each of the above sports with the coaches. This will assist when it is time for them to choose the sport they wish to participate in during Interschool Sports.

We hope the Seniors have fun!

JUNIOR BASKETBALL CLINICS

This year we have been lucky enough to receive funding through the Sporting Schools Program. As a result we are able to offer our Juniors Basketball Clinics run by a coach organised by Casey Basketball Association. These clinics will not only increase student physical activity and skills but also enhance their ability to work with others as a team and begin to learn one of our Interschool Sports games. Clinics will begin in Week 4 and Junior parents have been notified via Care Operoo of the dates their children will need to wear PE uniform for these clinics.

We hope our Juniors have fun!

TWILIGHT SPORTS

Please mark Thursday March 4th (5.30 – 8.00) into your diaries. This is the date for our Twilight Sports this year. Which House will win our Twilight Sports this year? Which House will win the Spirit Award. Students will soon begin to meet in their Houses to practise their cheering. 

Don’t forget for the sports night your child will need to wear a t-shirt the colour of their House and their sports shorts, skirts or tracksuit and runners:

MacKillop              yellow

Patick                     green

Bosco                     red

Teresa                    blue

Foundation parents you will shortly be notified of your child’s House so you can organise a coloured t-shirt. Home Group teachers will also have a list of their students and their Houses in case students have forgotten. If you have an older child, your younger child will be in the same House.

SFS FUN RUN / CROSS COUNTRY

On the last day of term, which will be Thursday 1st April, the whole school will be involved in our traditional Fun Run which will be held at SFS this year. We will be looking for the winning House as well as winners for each level in the Juniors and age group in the Seniors. We will also be identifying Senior students who qualify to attend District Cross Country in Term 2.
