Footy Day 

Just a friendly reminder that on the last day of Term 3 ,Thursday, 19th September, students are encouraged to come dressed in the colours of their favourite football team. On the day, we’ll be holding a parade along with a range of fun footy activities for everyone to enjoy.

Equipment: 

Please ensure that if your child is bringing their own sports equipment to school, it is clearly labeled with their name.

Sports Uniform:

Over the next couple of years we will be phasing out the solid green sports polos and only having one sports top for all levels. The sports top that all students will wear is the polo top with the St Mark's lion on it, that the 5/6 students currently wear for interschool sport. We were finding that for some sporting events the 3/4 children also needed to wear the "interschool sport top" and they did not have it and it is also an additional expense for our Year 5/6 families that is not necessary - one sport top is plenty. Both the current green sports polos and the St Mark's lion sports polo are acceptable wear for PE days for all students. Year 5/6 students are still required to wear the St Mark's lion interschool sports top on interschool sport days. Once we are further underway with the roll out of the  new sports top we will set a date where students can no longer wear the green polo - but that will be quite some time away so please do not worry.
