Congratulations Jake

Jake (grade 5 BW) and his teammates competed in the Gold Coast International Futsal Competition during January. They were each selected for their talent, and they trained for a year leading up to this prestigious event, the largest Futsal event in Australia.

There were 27 teams in their under 10s age group, they won all of their group matches, came up against tough competitors in the quarter final and subsequently the semi final, winning both convincingly and landing themselves a spot in the grand final. They were down 5:4 at half time in a gripping grand final and sadly lost 8:4 in the end. But finishing as silver medallists in such a prestigious Futsal event was simply amazing for what was certainly an underdog team from little old Ballarat. Jake is the goal keeper and he conceded the least goals in his entire age group. The team have been invited to represent Australia in the World Futsal Championships in Florida later this year. Congratulations to Jake and all his team!

Division Swimming

Please complete this form to express your child's interest in the Division Swimming Competition to be held at Eureka Aquatic Centre 50m Pool on 1 March, 2024.

There will be an approximate cost of $10 for the event (which allows for swimmers to compete in a maximum of two individual events, one freestyle relay and one medley relay). Please note that students will be selected for their events as each school is limited on entry numbers and qualifying times are enforced (more information can be found on the SSV website). Events and relay teams will be selected based on times provided when registering (this is compulsory) and not all students will necessarily get a place in their chosen events.

This competition is open to students turning 9-13 in 2024. Age groups are based on participants' age as of 31 December 2024.

This form must be completed by 9 February, 2024. Permission and payment request will follow shortly after closing date.

More information will be forwarded to registered families when finalised.

Division Lawn Bowls Tryouts

There has been a change of date with the Lawn Bowls competition (not to be held on 2 August 2024). As a result, the tryout/training dates have changed we will notify parents once we have these set. Thank you for your patience.

Athletics Day recording

Over the next 6 weeks, Grade 3-6 students will be participating in athletics activities where we will be recording results (for either heats or as their final result) for our Athletics Day. If your child misses a P.E. session, please touch base with me if they wish to complete this event for results prior to Athletics Day. We will not be taking any results after the 8 March 2024. Please let me know if you have any questions.
