Year 4 Gala Day
The sun was shining and it was perfect conditions for the year 4 students to enjoy their first day of interschool sport ever at SJV. As usual the students represented their school well and as I walked around at Donvale Reserve, I saw some fantastic sportsmanship, great teamwork and camaraderie.
Thank you to the SJV staff - Nikki Lamendola, Tim Flintoff, Cath, Lauren, Antoinette and Bianca for your assistance on the day. We also thank the parents that volunteered their time - Anne, Catherine, Amali and Claire.
A big shout out to our sport captains Ben and Spencer for helping manage a team and taking on scoring and umpiring duties for all games also! They did a fantastic job.
Year 5&6 Gala Day
We are looking forward to enjoying another day of sport with the year 5 and 6 students on Thursday! What a way to spend the last day of school! The sport fields are set to be packed with lots of teams enjoying Ultimate Frisbee, Cricket Blast, Volleyball/Volleystars and Tennis. See the operoo for fixtures and more information on venues etc.
Spotlight on Sport
Eden in prep has been a high achiever in her Little Athletics Competition. Eden competed in the Four Pillars competition earlier in the year and won the event for her age group. In her last athletics meet for the summer she managed to get 5/5 podium finishes (1st in discus, 2nd in 70m, 100m, 60m hurdles and 3rd in long jump). Well done Eden, what a fabulous achievement!!
Stay safe, keep active
