Sport and PE at SJV

The SJV House Athletics

Our SJV House Athletics Day is happening tomorrow!

Please ensure your child comes prepared for the day with:

• Plenty of food and water
• A jacket and hat/sunscreen – be ready for all kinds of Melbourne weather 🌦️☀️🧥

Spectators are welcome! However, for your safety and the safety of our students, please stay off the track and field areas. Only staff, students, and parent helpers are permitted in event zones. We’re still happy to welcome any last-minute parent helpers – just bring your Working with Children Check.

If you are available to help with set up/pack up, or help with an event, please contact Dominique Monotti on dominique.monotti@sjvparkdale.catholic.edu.au . Any help at all is much appreciated. 

Thank you for your support – we’re looking forward to a fun and active day!

Region Cross Country

Yesterday, we had two students represent SJV at the Southern Metropolitan Region Cross Country. Braving the cold and wind, Joaquin and Xavier ran brilliantly against very talented runners. An absolutely amazing effort by both students. Joaquin came 1st in the 2km 9/10 year old Multiclass. In winning his race, Joaquin will progress to the State Cross Country in July. 

For those interested in learning more about Multiclass events, Multiclass is a category for people who love sport and want to compete, but may have different challenges and abilities.  Over time, some may make it to larger national or international events, such as the Paralympics.

An absolutely amazing effort by both students to progress so far. We certainly look forward to Joaquin's continued success!

Run Club

Please note that Run Club will not be held this week due to the SJV House Athletics Day.

We’ll be back on Friday mornings for the rest of Term 2 – we look forward to seeing our runners then! 

All grade 3-6 students are invited to join the Run Club on Friday mornings. We meet at Walter Galt Reserve 8:15 AM, and students will be escorted to school once finished.
