PORT SAPSASA CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Tuesday 13th September, 52 students from year 3-7 represented the school in the Port SAPSASA Cross Country Championships. The training that many of the students put in this term paid off as we had a highly successful championship. The event is held over 2km on the beach and reserve adjacent to Semaphore Surf Lifesaving Club. Students who finish in the top four in Division 1 races earnt a spot in the Port SAPSASA Team to compete at the State Cross Country Championships at Oakbank in 2017 (year 7’s qualify to compete in the secondary schools events).

We had 11 students who achieved this.

Congratulations to:

Marcus U9 2nd, Sam U9 3rd, Alyssa U9 4th, Eliza U10 2nd, Abbey F U10 4th, Jackson U10 4th, Clarice U11 4th, Ryan U12 2nd, Monet U13 2nd, Ella U13 3rd, Cooper U13 4th

School Closure

OSHC

Friday 23rd September

Friday 23rd of September 2016, Week 9, is a School Closure Day. Should we reach minimum attendance requirements, OSHC will be open from 7.05am – 6pm. $50 per child. Sorry no half or part day sessions available. If you require care for your child/children on this day, please complete and return a booking form, strictly no later than 16th of September.

School Closure Bookings and Cancellations Policy:

In order for the service to be viable, we require a minimum of 15 children to be booked in on any given Pupil Free Day. Therefore, all bookings and cancellations must be received 1 week prior to the School Closure day and families will be notified 1 week prior as to whether the service will be open.

If families are advised that the service will be open, any cancellations received after this time, will be charged the full session fee of $50.00

Activities – Construction Day

We’ll be putting our builders belts on with lots of fun construction arts, craft and games. Please ensure your child/ren are wearing clothes that are ok to get dirty! Children are required to bring their own recess, lunch and a drink.

In conjunction with Largs Bay School, Largs Bay OSHC has a Nut Awareness Policy. Due to the severe allergic reaction of some children, parents are asked that they do not send their child/ren to OSHC with food containing nuts – this includes Nutella.

Children are required to wear appropriate casual clothing. This includes comfortable shoes (i.e. enclosed shoes, not thongs). We provide sunscreen but children are welcome to bring their own. No hat = Play in the shade.

Kind regards,

Yr 4/5 Rugby League

On Monday the 12th of September, some of the year 4/5 students participated in a mixed tackle rugby league carnival. Largs Bay entered four mixed teams; orange, blue, black and yellow. We played against each other and also Ocean View College, who entered one team. Despite the very wet weather, the carnival continued and the orange team came out as undefeated winners. All of our students were very well behaved and represented our school excellently. The high levels of sportsmanship and encouragement were very pleasing and everyone involved had an amazing (although very wet) day.
