SPORT DATES TERM 3

JERSEY UPDATE

Moving forward students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey has been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur a fee to replace this jersey.

Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.

Interschool Sport

Last term the Year 4 Interschool Shark Tag was cancelled due to the rain. We have received information that the new date for the gala day is Wednesday 15th October during Term 4. This new date has been reflected in the COMPASS event. We are pleased our students will still have the opportunity to participate in this gala day.

A big congratulations to our Year 6 and Year 5 students who gave it their all at the European Handball Gala Day. It was awesome to see their skills develop throughout the day. The last European Handball Gala Day will be next Wednesday for our year 3 students.
