Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back to a new and exciting year. I hope you all had a great holiday and were able to spend quality time with your children. A warm welcome to all our new preps and their families and all new families, we know you will love being a part of our school community. I look forward to meeting all of you and working with your wonderful children this year.

Cross Country

On Friday 21st February we will be starting Cross Country training for those who are keen to enter the Cross Country which is on Tuesday May 19th, 10-12pm, this year. Only children who train for this event will be permitted to participate. Children must be 9, 10, 11 or 12 by the 31st December 2020. 9/10 year olds will run 2km and 11/12/13 year olds will run 3km. Training will begin at 8.00am and conclude at 8.30am. The children are asked to bring a healthy snack and drink to have after training. This is very important, as children need brain food to concentrate on their schoolwork.

Swimming Trials

Children from Year 3-6 who are strong swimmers (able to swim over 50m) are able to try-out for our District Swimming trials which are on Thursday 13th Feb from 6.45am - 8.30am.  All the children who got through today, we look forward to seeing you next Thursday.  Races will be freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly in that order. We will start  with 12/ 13 year old children first.  Could you please bring $5 with you on the day which will cover the cost of the pool. 

Inter school Sports

Inter school sport for the 5/6’s starts on Friday 14th February. This term the sports are Basketball, Kanga Cricket, Rounders and Softball -Fully Loaded. Your child will fill in the preference sheets this week. Grade 6's have their first preference and Grade 5's will get their second or third preference depending on the sport chosen.
