Sports Update

District Athletics 

On Friday the 21st of August, our students who qualified competed at the District Athletics event. This exciting event provides students with the opportunity to compete against talented students from other schools across our district in a range of track and field events.It was wonderful to see our students giving their best, encouraging and supporting one another, and demonstrating such excellent sportsmanship throughout the day.

We would like to congratulate all of our students who qualified for this event. Qualifying for District Athletics is a fantastic achievement and is a wonderful reflection of their hard work, dedication and commitment.

A very special congratulations to Nate (5/6B), Sophie N (5/6C), Nabil (5/6D), Penelope (5/6C) and William (4C), who have qualified for Division Athletics, which will be held next Friday the 11th of September.

We wish them all the very best of luck as they take on this next challenge. We are incredibly proud of you! Go CGPS!

Junior Sports Day

On Wednesday the 9th of September, our P–2 students enjoyed a fantastic day of fun, laughter and teamwork at our Junior Sports Day at Princes Park!

Dressed proudly in their house colours, our students showed wonderful team spirit as they cheered on their friends, participated enthusiastically in each activity and celebrated one another’s efforts.

The students took part in a variety of fun activity stations, including novelty events such as the egg-and-spoon race, sack races and three-legged races. The parachute games were certainly a favourite, with plenty of smiles and laughter along the way!

A big thank you to all our teachers, Educational Support staff and parent volunteers for helping to make this special event possible. Your support and enthusiasm contributed to a wonderful day for our students.

Junior Sports Day is an event our students look forward to every year, and it was fantastic to see them enjoying themselves, demonstrating teamwork and showing such great school spirit!

Swimming Program

Our Prep, Year 1 and Year 5/6 students completed their swimming program last week with great success! It was wonderful to see students building their confidence in the water, developing important swimming and water-safety skills, and enjoying the experience with their classmates.

A reminder that Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 students will be heading off for their swimming program next week. 

Consent is required for all students. Consent can be provided through the Compass event, by emailing the school with written consent, or by visiting the school office to sign a consent form. Students who are not participating in the swimming lessons will still travel with their class to the swimming venue and will therefore also require parent/carer consent to attend the venue.

We strongly encourage all students to participate in this important part of our Health and Physical Education program, which supports the development of essential swimming and water-safety skills.

What to bring:

• Bathers (best worn under school clothes to start the day)
• A plastic bag for wet clothes
• Towel
• Dry underwear
• Waterproof footwear (thongs, sandals or slides)
• Goggles (strongly recommeded)
• Swim cap (optional)

Please have your child wear their bathers underneath their clothes when they come to school. This will save time and mean they do not need to change into their bathers when they arrive at the pool. We also recommend labelling all items your child brings to the pool, as belongings can sometimes be misplaced or left behind.
