School Sports - What's Happening
STATE CROSS COUNTRY
A big congratulations to Indy B who represented Holy Rosary at the State Cross Country in Melbourne yesterday. An incredible achievement to get to this stage and we know Indy works very hard on his running outside of school.
Indy finished 54th overall in the state for his age group, which is a fantastic effort. He has a very bright future ahead with his running.
Well done Indy, we are very proud of you.
HOLY ROSARY ATHLETICS CARNIVAL - FRIDAY 7th AUGUST
On Friday 7th August, we will be having our school athletics carnival. This will be held at the Flora Hill Athletics Track.
Grade 3 - 6 events will be from 9:45am to 2:30pm (Please see PAM note attachment for event times)
Foundation to Grade 2 events will be from 11am - 1pm.
The carnival is a fantastic day for all of our students to participate in a range of sporting events to the best of their ability. Please feel free to come and support our school and our kids!
Some Important Information:•
- We have been lucky enough to have CMC students assist at each event on the day.
- Your child is asked to wear their house colours for the day. If you are unsure of what your child’s colour is, please see your classroom teacher.
- Students need to bring a hat, water bottle and food for the day.
There will be no canteen at the track, normal packed lunch for the students.
* Please sign and check your child's PAM note and refer to this for any further information.
The next level is the Catholic Schools Athletics Carnival, which will be held on Thursday 20th August at the Flora Hill Athletics Track. Students in Grades 3 to 6 will be notified if they make this event. Please note that 9yr old students can only make it through in shot put, long jump, hurdles and 100m. Students finishing 1st & 2nd in each event will be offered a spot in those events for the Catholic Schools Carnival. However, each student can only compete in 3 individual events. Should they qualify for more than 3, they will have to choose their preferred events and then the spot is offered to the next highest finishing student.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
PHOTOS AT SCHOOL EVENTS:
A reminder to parents, that as per the CES Child Safety Policy - Photographing, Filming and Recording (Students), we ask that parents consider the 'risks of publishing the photographs or videos/recordings/films and how to best protect the students’ safety and privacy.' As such, we ask that parents be mindful that they do not include other student's in any photos they take, as much as is practicable and that they consider the privacy of their own and other's children, when sharing photos taken at school events.
