Athletics Carnival and Districts

Last Friday, we enjoyed a remarkable day at the Coburg Athletics Track, where our community came together for a day of physical activity, exercise and plenty of smiles. This event marked another step towards embracing a healthier lifestyle, highlighting the importance of staying active and enjoying games in the outdoors. These activities are crucial, especially for primary school children, as they foster physical fitness, enhance motor skills, and contribute to overall well-being.

I want to express my gratitude to all the school staff, parent helpers, and family members who joined us at the track to support our students. A special thanks goes to the parents who took part in the fundraising efforts. Your contributions were invaluable, and we successfully raised over $1,000 for new sports equipment for our brand-new gymnasium. What an achievement!

More photos will come soon! 

Athletics Districts

Last Wednesday, 28 of our students participated in the Coburg Athletic Districts at the Coburg Track, showcasing their talents in Shot Put, Discus, Long Jump, and various races. Newlands is incredibly proud of all our participants for their exceptional sportsmanship and determination.

A special congratulations to Jack, Taylor, Paxton, and Cyrus who qualified for the Athletics Divisions. They will compete on Wednesday, September 11th, at the Meadowglen Athletics Centre. We wish them the best of luck!

Yours faithfully,
