2024 Swimming Carnival - (Years 2 to 5)
This week, with the assistance of their class teacher, the students will be picking their events to take part in at next year's Swim carnival, so this might be an opportune time to talk to them about swimming throughout the summer!
A reminder that they can do as many events as they wish, but can only do either the 25m or 50m event in each stroke. If they can't swim unaided there is also a kickboard race. All swims will gain points for their House.
Mentone Beach Lifesaving Program
This week we embark on our Beach Lifesaving Program for Years 2 to 6. It is going to be a wonderful program and certainly a very important life skill for all our young 'beach goers!' I am sure they will all have a great time, led by Mentone lifesaving club.
A massive thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to help on these days!

School Sports Victoria Rep Program 2024
As we get closer to the end of the Year, some of you will be aware that students can nominate for School Sports Victoria in a wide range of sports. This is a great opportunity for some of our young sports stars. The closing dates for each sport will be posted on the SSV website (Link below) and this varies, so please keep a check if you are interested
https://www.ssv.vic.edu.au/team-vic
PLEASE NOTE: - In the following sports it is very, very competitive and students need the endorsement of our Principal and myself. In addition the students need to be of a very high level, usually playing in Division 1 is a good guide. These rep trials are not just 'to have a go' unfortunately, and so nominations need to be taken seriously. Please read the following before applying:
