Children will participate in the following sports - Football, Netball, Down Ball, Kickball and Spikeball. This will take place between recess and lunch time. Children will need to wear their sports uniform and bring the appropriate gear for their chosen sport e.g. football boots, shorts etc (football jumpers will be supplied).

All footballers and netballers are reminded to return their football jumpers and dresses a.s.a.p.
Colac Division Basketball Tournament
Congratulations to the students who have been selected to represent Sacred Heart on the Colac Division Basketball Tournament on Wednesday 14th September. Thanks to all the students who tried out for the teams, unfortunately with the large numbers (and the small numbers in a basketball team) not all students could be selected. We wish these students all the best.
Could parents please complete the permission form on PAM?

Foundation Swimming Program
Our three Foundation classes will start their swimming lessons this Wednesday 5th October. The swimming program will go for ten weeks. Please make sure you have filled in the permission form on PAM.
The lesson times will be as follows:
11.30am – 12.00noon – FMD
12.00noon – 12.30pm – FME
12.30pm – 1.00pm - FSN
The children will walk to and from swimming lessons, so we need parents to volunteer to walk with the class teacher and the children each week. Each class will leave the school 30 minutes before the commencement of their swimming lesson. They will leave from the Prep gate. If the weather is not suitable for walking, a bus will be booked, and it will leave from Pound Road (near the gym).
Helpers are required to have a Working With Children’s Check.
Please let us know if you are able to assist through the permission in PAM.
Children need to wear their swim gear (bring them in a bag if they are one piece), a towel, goggles etc. Children need to have their swimming gear in a separate swim bag to their school bag. Please make sure that everything is clearly labelled, even their shoes. Children may like to wear their sports uniform on their swimming day.
