St Simons Primary School
Year 5 & 6 District Winter Sport
Our Year 5 and 6 District Winter Sport teams have been shared with our students. Team selection is based on their interests, their skill displayed within the Physical Education program and other factors including their involvement at the community and club level sports outside of school.
We ask Year 5 and 6 parents to keep an eye out for the permission form coming shortly with information regarding the Winter Sport competition.
We are in need of parent helpers for our teams to ensure our students are supported within their teams. Please feel free to contact Mr Karl Camerino if you are able to support a team at the Winter Sport competitions on Friday 29th May and Tuesday 9th June. We greatly need the support for our teams to play on the day.
St Simon Interschool Sport Key Dates 2026
Please note the following date for our SSV Wantirna District and Knox Division for the 2025 calendar year.
These dates are subject to change according to the discretion of the District and Division Coordinator. We wish to provide parents of our school the opportunity to acknowledge when upcoming sporting events are occurring.
We particularly call out to all future Year 5 and 6 parents to note the dates and to be potentially available to support our Interschool Sport teams as parent involvement not only supports our students in many ways as coaches and umpires but helps our staff with assistance with supervision. We thank all parents for their great help in making Interschool Sport a success for St Simon!
