Good luck Division Swimmers:

Good luck Milla H, Sam B, Mac M, Kaiya M, Lycan G, Jude H, Amber M, Addison H, Kayla B, Claire B and Edie L who will take part in the Division Swimming at Eureka Pool this Friday. Finger crossed for some good weather and fast times. Big thank you to Dean for being our support adult on the day!

Division Lawn Bowls Tryouts:

Tryouts continue this week for the Grade 5/6 Division Lawn Bowls. 26 and 29th February at the Buninyong Bowls Club. Students are encouraged to attend all tryout sessions to showcase their talents. Please make sure your child brings their P.E. shoes on these days as no shoes that mark the green will be allowed. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Claire Morris (claire.morris@education.vic.gov.au).

Interhouse Athletics:

We are getting excited as we prepare for our Interhouse Athletics on 5 March, 2024.

Please click here for more information on the event.

If you can please ensure your child knows what group they will be in on the day, that would be very helpful (e.g. if they turn 10 on their 2024 birthday, they will be in the 10YO group). Dressing up in house colours is encouraged for those wishing to but please remember to wear their school hat.

We anticipate the canteen being closed during the event so please ensure your child has a healthy lunch packed with a water bottle too.

Please contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions about the day.

Interhouse Cross Country:

On 15 March, 2024, the whole school will take part in the Interhouse Cross Country. It is an exciting day where students have the opportunity to earn points for their house. Last year, Inglis (green) took the title off Scott. Who will win the shield this year??

Click here to view the information for the day (including maps).

We are very much in need of adults who can help out for all or part of the event as course marshals. No running is required but if you’re able to assist, please click here and get in touch with Claire Morris (claire.morri@education.vic.gov.au).

Athletics Day recording:

Over the next 6 weeks, Grade 3-6 students will be participating in athletics activities where we will be recording results (for either heats or as their final result) for our Athletics Day. If your child misses a P.E. session, please touch base with me if they wish to complete this event for results prior to Athletics Day. We will not be taking any results after the 8 March, 2024. Please let me know if you have any questions.
