Congratulations to Jehansa from 6C for her outstanding performance at the District Swimming Tryouts. Jehansa showed incredible determination and skill, finishing first in both the 12-year-old Freestyle and Butterfly events. This is a fantastic achievement and a wonderful reflection of her hard work and dedication. We are very proud of you, Jehansa, and wish you the very best in the next stage of competition!

Upcoming Sporting Events

Week 5	Year 5 Swimming
Year 3-6 Athletics Day – Friday, 13th March (Week 7)	Students in Years 3 to 6 will have the opportunity to showcase their athletic skills at our annual Athletics Day. This is a great chance for students to participate in track and field events, work as a team, and strive for their personal best. Parents are welcome to come along and cheer for their children!
Summer Sport Gala Day – Tuesday, 27th March (Week 9)	Our Year 5 and 6 students will compete in a variety of summer sports against other schools in our district. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience team sports, develop their skills, and represent our school with pride. More details on teams and venues will be shared closer to the date.
Foundation - Year 6 Cross Country – Tuesday, 31st March (Week 10)	All students from Foundation to Year 6 will take part in our school-wide Cross Country event. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build endurance, and enjoy a fun and active day outdoors starting on our school oval. Make sure to bring plenty of water and wear your sports uniform! Cross Country and Athletics Day are closely linked as both events focus on developing students’ endurance, resilience, and participation in whole-school sporting events. Cross Country helps students build their long-distance running fitness, pacing strategies, and mental perseverance, which are valuable skills that support their performance in Athletics Day distance events. Both events also promote house spirit, teamwork, and sportsmanship, encouraging students to challenge themselves while contributing to their house team. Participating in Cross Country helps students feel more confident and prepared when taking part in Athletics Day activities.
House Colours!!!!	For school events, we encourage all students to proudly wear their house colours and be as bright and vibrant as possible! Wearing house colours helps build pride, unity, and a strong sense of belonging within each house team. It is a great way for students to feel connected, show their school spirit, and contribute to a positive team culture. If students are unsure of their house colour, they can check Compass or speak with their classroom teacher. By getting involved and dressing in their house colours, students help create an exciting and supportive atmosphere at our school events. We encourage all students to get involved, give their best effort, and most importantly, have fun! If you have any questions, please contact the school office or have your student talk to Mr. Perkins.
