Hi Families,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday break, Easter and long weekend with your families.  Another term filled with lots of different experiences in sport and PE this term for all.

House Cross Country

Our House Cross Country is scheduled for this Friday 9th May.  Families are welcomed and encouraged to come along. Below are approximate details for the event.  The schedule of events will remain the same, possibly timing may run ahead or behind. 

Students are encouraged to wear their sports uniform along with their house colour t shirt.  

The prep and year one students will complete a 500m course around the school and the year 2-6 students will complete a 1km loop around the school, distance will depend on age. The year 2’s will do 1km, the year 3&4 students will do 2km and the year 5&6 students will do 3km.

Prep - 2 Timetable

Year 3-6 Timetable

This is also used as a trials for any students wanting to try out for the District Cross Country in years 3-6 on Friday 9th May.  The top 10 girls/boys in the 9/10, 11 and 12/13 age group will qualify for this event.  Students have to be turning 9/10, 11 or 12/13 by the 31st December of this year to qualify for the age group they race in.  If students qualify for a younger age group but are in year 5 or 6 for instance, they will be trialed with their age group and not their year level.  If students are keen to just enjoy it with their friends, they can remain with their year level.  This is not a timed event.  

Summer Year 5&6 Gala Day

The sun was shining, the students were keen and eager to participate in either tennis, volleyball, ultimate frisbee or cricket.  It was a wonderful day filled with competitive spirit against the district schools.

Congratulations to our year 6 girls volleyball team, year 6 mixed cricket team and year 5&6 boys tennis team that have progressed through to the Division rounds of their sports. These will be played at various dates in term 4, to be confirmed.

Have a great term ahead.

Stay safe, keep active
