Parent Helpers

Thank you to our parent helpers on Day 1 of games. We could not compete in the Winter Sport competition without your support. Our students look forward to your presence again on Day 2 of games on Friday 21st June!!!

SSV Senior District Basketball Competition

It was quite challenging to select our team to represent the school at the SSV District Basketball competition next term with many skillful and talented students to choose to be in the team.

Selection for both teams will be based on the students skills and teamwork displayed within the Physical Education basketball unit of learning. Another factor in the selection will be team cohesion and position as well.

Well done to the students listed below who have the great opportunity to represent St Simon in the basketball teams! Hopefully they will be successful as they compete next term on Monday 22nd July at the State Basketball Centre.

Parents will receive an Operoo permission form

Training will be provided for our two school representative SSV District teams. Dates of the training are outlined below. Some training sessions will be conducted during the school day. We are attempt to trial an after school training session and hope your child is able to attend this session.
