Knox Division AFL 9’s Girls Championships

We’re looking forward to an exciting day at the upcoming Knox Division AFL 9’s Girls Championships! It promises to be full of fun, great games, plenty of tackling, kicking goals, and fantastic teamwork. We can’t wait to see our girls get out there and give it their all!

Please note the date has changed to Term 3 by the Division Coordinator due to football ground maintenance.

The new date of the Knox Division AFL 9’s Championships is Tuesday 21st July in the second week of Term 3.

We ask parents to keep an eye out for the permission form coming soon.

St Simon District Athletics Team 2026

Congratulations to all students who have been selected to represent St Simon’s in the District Athletics Team! This is a fantastic achievement, and we are incredibly proud of your effort and determination that made it possible for you to be selected in the team!

Please find attached the updated team lists.

Our team has been carefully selected based not only on outstanding performances at the Year 3–6 Athletics Day, but also on students’ demonstrated skills, technique, and progress throughout the Physical Education program. Previous District Athletics results have also been taken into consideration, ensuring a strong and competitive team.

We wish our athletes the very best of luck as they compete on Friday 8th May at Knox Athletics Track—we know you’ll do us proud. Go St Simon’s!

🏃‍♂️ Training InformationTraining sessions for specific track and field events will be held on selected days, weather permitting. Should there be any changes due to weather conditions, families will be notified via an Nforma message. In the case of poor weather, sessions may be relocated to the school hall.

A special training session to prepare students at Knox Athletics Track will be held on Wednesday 13th May providing students with the main track/field setting to train on.

We hope your child is able to participate in the training sessions. Further training will be provided during school time.

Year 5 & 6 District Winter Sport

Our Year 5 and 6 District Winter Sport teams have been shared with our students. Team selection is based on their interests, their skill displayed within the Physical Education program and other factors including their involvement at the community and club level sports outside of school.

Please see below the team list and the required support of parent helpers for each team. Thank you to those parents who have already put their hand up to coach and/or umpire a team.

We are still in need of parent helpers for the following teams:

Soccer Boys/Mixed B team

Teeball Boys and Girls team

We greatly need more parent support of our teams to ensure our staff are available to supervise and attend to students as necessary with injuries etc.

If you are available to coach a team please contact Mr Karl Camerino. Our days of competition are on Friday 29th May and Tuesday 9th June. Parent coaches are welcome to the train session to train their nominated teams.

We greatly appreciate the help on the day!

We ask Year 5 and 6 parents to keep an eye out for the permission form coming shortly with information regarding the Winter Sport competition.

Winter Sport Training sessions

We hope your child is able to attend the following morning training sessions to support their teamwork, gameplay and skill. Volleystar teams and other teams will be trained during the school day as well.

Interschool Sport Training Times - Term 2

Please see the interschool sport training times led by Mr Karl Camerino. Some of the training sessions have changed so please note these changes.

These sessions are designed to help students build confidence, develop their skills, strengthen teamwork, and improve their understanding of the game. We strongly encourage all students selected in their respective teams to attend these valuable training sessions.

St Simon Interschool Sport Key Dates 2026

Please note the following date for our SSV Wantirna District and Knox Division for the 2025 calendar year.

These dates are subject to change according to the discretion of the District and Division Coordinator. We wish to provide parents of our school the opportunity to acknowledge when upcoming sporting events are occurring.

We particularly call out to all future Year 5 and 6 parents to note the dates and to be potentially available to support our Interschool Sport teams as parent involvement not only supports our students in many ways as coaches and umpires but helps our staff with assistance with supervision. We thank all parents for their great help in making Interschool Sport a success for St Simon!
