P.E, SPORT & HEALTH NEWS

THIS WEEKS UPDATE

Our students that competed in the Division Swimming carnival swam with fantastic effort against tough competition, congratulations to you all on your great performance and resilience! An extra big congratulations goes to Krystal C for progressing through to the Region carnival, we are all very excited for you and wish you the best of luck!

In other news we had our Grade 5/6s compete at the District Summer Sports Round Robin last week. The students played Hot Shots Tennis, T-Ball, Softball or Cricket. We were so proud of how the Grade 5/6 students represented Rolling Hills Primary. They demonstrated great teamwork, sportsmanship and all round kindness. A special well done goes to the Girls Hot Shots team and the Cricket team who both placed 2nd in their pools!

I'm extremely excited for our School Athletics Carnival coming up on the 25th of March. Students, please make sure you come dressed in your house colours- coloured zinc and wigs are encouraged. GO THORPE!  Families, we are still on the hunt for helpers for the day, if you are available pretty please sign up via http://myschoolvolunteer.com.au/volunteer_calendar/default/?sheet_id=655 or send me a compass email. You will be paid in lollies and a ton of appreciation!
