Hi all

SWIMMING

Our three week swimming practice starts this week.  We swim at Toby Haenan's on Monday mornings and Mentone Aquatic on Thursday mornings.   Sessions run from 7.00 to 8.00 am.  The program is open to all students from Year 3 to Year 6 who can swim the length of a 25 m pool.  

TEAM VIC

The School Sport Victoria (SSV) Team Vic representative program provides an opportunity talented students to challenge themselves against Australia’s best school aged athletes across numerous sports at the annual School Sport Australia (SSA) Championships. SSV run the selection process for Team Vic teams in partnership with relevant state sporting organisations. 

If you believe your child is one of the best in the state in their chosen sport, you may wish to consider this.  To consider applying, your child would need to be in the top three players in their current competition.  For example, a rough guide is, if your child is playing rep basketball, they would need to be the best player in their team in the top grade.  Or, last year only one player from the entire FDJFL competition made it into the boy's AFL team.  

Schools can only send a maximum of three students per sport.  It is up to parents to register online but then they require approval from the school.  Please contact me prior to applying.
