Jersey Update
Students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey have been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur replacement fee.
Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.
Interschool Sport
Interschool Sport for 2026 has officially come to an end for this season. Thank you to all staff, students and parent spectators for contributing to these events. We would like to congratulate all of our students throughout the year who represented our school. The interschool sport initiative by SCS has provided a wonderful opportunity to participate in a friendly and for others a competitive competition while developing skills and fitness and learning valuable lessons about teamwork, resilience, sportsmanship and respect. Socialising with other schools in our network builds confidence and encourages students to learn from both their successes and challenges. We look forward to interschool sport fot 2027.

We are pleased to advise that entries are now open for the CSNSW Sport Primary School Aquathlon (Years 2-5, with Year 6 students also welcome) to be held on Tuesday 17 November 2026 at Des Renford Leisure Centre and Heffron Park, Maroubra. This event is specifically designed as an introductory multisport experience, combining swimming and running in a fun, supportive environment. It is ideal for students wanting to experience multisport competition for the first time.
Year 6 Students
Year 6 have the option to join the CSNSW Sport Primary Aquathlon with Years 2-5 or the NSW All Schools Triathlon & Aquathlon Championship (Years 6-12) which is explained in more detail in the next heading of this newsletter. Year 6 have the option to choose the event that best matches their experience, confidence, and goals. The difference is the Primary Aquathlon is a shorter distance with the 150m swim participated in a swimming pool followed by the 1.8km run.

Swimming Carnival
The Annual School Swimming Carnival for Years 3-6 will be held on Thursday 5th November 2026 at Engadine Swimming Pool. The carnival is a fun, school event but also acts as a trial for the Conference 3 Swimming event which will be held on Monday 8th February 2027. In the past all of Year 2 attended the swimming carnival but for 2026 only advanced Year 2 swimmers are invited. You can now also provide consent via COMPASS.
This year we have placed the Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students ‘’splash’’ water activities day on a separate day to the 3-6 swimming carnival to avoid any parent spectators racing between the two events. The information for this day will be shared in due course.
Please see the attached note and provide consent via COMPASS. Nominations for the timed races will close on the 25th September as preparations for this day will take action.
