Polly came 8th in Long Jump, 14th in 100m and 3rd in the 4 x 100m relay.

She has a great experience at her first nationals representing Beaumaris Primary School and Victoria. With many new friendships made and experience gained for her young age.

While her long jump wasn’t her best on the day for various reasons she still came away happy with her results against the rest of Australia!

Advice from the Department of Education and Training : staying safe from Mosquitoes 

The Department of Education and Training has issued the following advice:

Staying safe from mosquitoes

After heavy rainfall, mosquitoes can grow and spread in the pools of water left behind.

While the overall risk is low, some mosquitoes carry diseases that are spread through their bites. Mosquitoes are more active at dusk and dawn, but some will also bite during the day.

The best way to prevent mosquito-borne diseases is to avoid mosquito bites.

When mosquitoes are prevalent  families can protect against mosquito bites by:

· covering up as much as possible with long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing

· applying insect repellent that contains picaridin or DEET on exposed skin when leaving home

· limiting outdoor activity if lots of mosquitoes are active.
