Interhouse Athletics:

A lot of the Grade 3-6’s were waiting with great anticipation for the overall results of our Interhouse Athletics Day. Their wait was finally over on Friday where we were able to announce the results for 2025.

We would like to congratulate every student who took part in Athletics and did their best to earn points for their house. There were a whole heap of points to count up! We are super proud of everyone who gave it their best shot. Congratulations also to the 59 students who made it through to District Athletics which is in a few weeks.

A big thank you again to all the helpers who made the day such a success! It was a mighty effort by each and everyone of you. Thank you!

The results for the 2025 Interhouse Athletics are:

1st – Simpson (Blue) on 4121 points

2nd – Cornish (White) on 3714 points

3rd – Inglis (Green) on 3530 points

4th – Scott (Yellow) on 3294 points

Congratulations to SIMPSON!

Interhouse Cross Country:

We are in need again for adults to help us out marshalling around the track. If you are able to spare some time on this day to help us out (click here to view the positions needed), please email claire.morris@education.vic.gov.au. Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist! We can’t possibly run these events without our community’s support!

The Interhouse Cross Country is fast approaching on 1 April 2025 (April Fools Day). In preparation for the day, students will be walking the course during their P.E. lesson to familiarise them with their route between the below dates:

Prep – Grade 2 – 24 – 28 March 2025
Grade 3-6 classes - 17 – 28 March 2025 (excluding 3PW)

Local excursion permission will be used for this activity, so no further action is required from you if you have done this. Students without permission will remain at school in an alternative classroom. Hats and water bottles will be compulsory for the walk.

If your child does not walk the course during their planned session, it would be great if you could do this with them prior to the event so they know the course. Links to all maps can be found HERE.

If there is anyone available to walk the course during your child’s P.E. lesson, can you please contact your class teacher. Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist.

Term 2 Afterschool Netball:

Grade 3-6 students have the opportunity to join a team in the Darroch Afterschool Netball Competition at Llanberris Netball Stadium. These will be run on Tuesday afternoons (game times expected to be 4.05pm, 4.55pm and 5.45pm) in Term 2 (commencing 6 May 2025, running for 8 weeks) and is a participation competition only (i.e. there are no finals). The competition will run for eight weeks. Permission and payment can be found on Compass.

This is not a staffed event and parents/guardians are responsible for all aspects of their child's participation (transport, supervision, first aid, etc).

Grade 3-6 students (boys and girls) interested in joining a team will need to register via Compass and make payment before 31 March 2025. Please note that we will endeavour to include all interested students and preferred days. Teams will be decided by Claire Morris and will be based around the groups of Grade 3/4 and Grade 5/6.

The non-refundable initial cost of $30 will need to be paid upon registration (31 March 2025). There will be an additional cost for VNA (insurance) if your child does not already have this and the possibility of an additional team payment (this is dependent on numbers, and we do not expect it to cost more than $10). A refund will be given to those not placed in a team. Uniform will be provided this year and the hire of these is included in the cost. As this is not a staffed event and we will require parental assistance at the game to coach and score. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in filling the coaching/scorers roll. N.B. teams will not be entered without a designated coach.

Please contact Claire Morris if you have any further questions.

Kelly Sports Lunchtime Sessions:

This term we have some lunchtime sessions for our students. The first session is a come-and-try session where all relevant students can come along and try the sport. Sessions are limited to numbers so depending on how many students we get, there may be a sign up system implemented for the following three sessions. Please let your child know the days they can come along if interested:

What to bring to P.E.:

Just a reminder for all students to bring with them their P.E. shoes, drink bottles and hats to their P.E. classes. This allows us to make the most of our lessons together. Thanks to everyone who continues to remember these.
