Sport 

 

After missing so much of everything last year we are very much looking forward to another amazing year of sport this year, and if the Triathlon trials are anything to go by, the girls are also super keen to make up for 2020!

For those of you who are new to the College, we encourage your involvement in our House Sport, SCSA Sport events and our afterschool SEGAP sport program. 

House Sport

The House Swimming Carnival will be held on Monday 22 March at Noble Park. The students compete in their houses Tullow (red), Brigid (green), Delany (yellow) and Kildare (blue) and can enter 25m and 50m events in Freestyle, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Backstroke as well as novelties, relays and the House swim. Last year, Delany were the champions and no doubt  this year the other houses will be looking to knock them off their perch. 

Secondary Catholic Sport Association (SCSA) 

SCSA is our Secondary Catholic Sport Association events, which typically take place during the day, except for the Swimming Carnival which is held in the evening. The carnivals are held mostly in Melbourne and we compete against other Catholic girls' schools from Victoria. 

For most competitions we send a junior (Years 7 and 8), intermediate (Years 9 and 10) and senior (Years 11 and 12) team. For further information on these carnivals you can head to the website HERE or follow the Secondary Catholic Sports Association Facebook page  for up to date info and tournament results.

South Eastern Girls Activity Program (SEGAP)

SEGAP is our South Eastern Girls Activity Program which takes place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (2.00pm to 5.00pm). This competition takes place in Terms 2, 3 and 4 with different sports being offered to students from Years 7 to 10 each term. 

In Term 2 the sports will be Badminton, Basketball and Futsal. This competition takes place at Monash University with game times at 2.45pm to 3.30pm or 3.30pm to 4.15pm. All teams will be transported to Monash via our school buses. Trials for these sports will normally take place in the term before, so towards the end of Term 1 SEGAP trials will begin.

Other Sport

We also compete in a number of other competitions throughout the year with the Surf League Lifesaving competition being held on 24 February at Mordialloc. 

The Independent Schools Golf competition will also be held later this term and if your daughter is a keen golfer can you please ask her to contact us ASAP. 

Team Trials 

The trials for these sports will take place approximately 3 to 5 weeks prior to the event. The communication will take place via our Daily Bulletin (SIMON), noticeboards, individual emails, year level emails and the newsletter. We encourage your daughters to regularly check these forms of communication as it is up to them to know what is going on each term.

Once your daughter is selected into a team you will receive an email through the parent portal (PAM) with all the details about the event. You will then need to give parent consent for your daughter to participate. 

Once again we encourage your daughters to try some new sports and get involved in sport at  Kilbreda.

If you have any questions about the sport program at Kilbreda then please do not hesitate to contact us for SEGAP - maree.clark@kilbreda.vic.edu.au or SCSA - joanne.wood@kilbreda.vic.edu.au

AFL Umpiring Course

Kilbreda is offering a basic Umpiring Course during Term 1. There will be four sessions after school from 3.30 to 4.30pm.

The 2021 School Umpiring Course is a rejuvenated, shortened program of four lessons and consists of engaging, active and fun activities based on the skills required for students to transition from the schools program to their local community umpiring club. 

Run by an Umpire Development Officer from our local community umpiring club, the program includes activities for field, boundary and goal umpiring and provides students opportunities to learn, be active and transition into umpiring community football and earning money through their local umpiring club. 

Students will learn the basic skills and benefits of umpiring, along with achieving a School Umpiring Course certification.

More details will be provided in the next newsletter.
