Sport and PE at SJV

House Cross Country

On your marks! The SJV House Cross Country Carnival will be running on Friday, March 28th. All students from Prep to Grade 6 will be taking part with everyone earning points for their house. 

The race distances are as follows:

• Prep to Grade 2: 1km
• 9/10-year-olds: 2km
• 11-13-year-olds: 3km

We'd love to have parents come along to help out and cheer on the students. The more helpers, the better! If you're able to assist on the day, please contact Dominique Monotti via dominique.monotti@sjvparkdale.catholic.edu.au .

Run Club

With House Cross country coming up, all grade 3-6 students are invited to join the Run Club on Friday mornings starting this Friday. We will meet at Walter Galt Reserve 8:15 AM, and students will be escorted to school once finished. 

Please let Dominique Monotti know if your child is interested, even if they may not be able to attend every week. We’d also love for parents to be involved. Thanks to all that have already said they can attend and help. 

Taekwondo

Taekwondo lessons wrap up this week, with students applying their newfound skills during board breaking. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience a sense of achievement and challenge themselves to push beyond their comfort zones.

Throughout the program, the instructors have been incredibly impressed by the children's behavior, enthusiasm, and how much they’ve developed in their Taekwondo skills. It's been wonderful to watch them grow!

For anyone interested in continuing their Taekwondo journey, we invite you to join the Melbourne Taekwondo Centre - Bayside. Further details can be found on the Community Announcements page of this newsletter.
