P.E. and Sport
EXCITED TO BE BACK!!
I am very excited to be once again taking on the role of Physical Education Specialist and Sports Coordinator, having performed the role for 22 years at the school, prior to the last two years. I have even taught two generations within some families. I want to thank Jacqui Hayes for her excellent work across the past two years in supporting our students, parents and staff in the PE Program and in the role of Sports Coordinator.

SWIM SQUAD COMMENCES NEXT WEEK AT YAWA AQUATIC CENTRE, ROSEBUD
The Swim Squad Operoo was sent out yesterday outlining each of the four pool sessions that will commence NEXT TUESDAY at Yawa from 7.30-8.15am. While parents must arrange for their child to be transported to Yawa and to be signed in on the pool deck, the school bus will be able to drop 23 students back to school afterwards, where breakfast will be provided. Please reply on the Operoo for registering for this and indicate if your child requires a seat on the bus back. Let me know also if you can help out on pool deck or if you can assist with the preparation and serving of breakfast each Tuesday before school on the responses offered.
SOUTHERN PENINSULA SKILLS ACADEMY COMMENCES NEXT MONDAY, 5TH FEB for any keen junior footballers (boys and girls) from our local Mornington Peninsula area who are interested in returning or participating for the first time this year. Many St Joseph's students have expressed an interest again in taking part in this afterschool program. Next Monday 5th February, past and current players have the opportunity of trading in their outgrown uniforms for a special CASHBACK OFFER.
