Team Vic Trials (year 5 & 6 students): Final call out
Over the next couple of weeks, the PE and senior teachers will be running trials for the SSV Team Vic elite athlete pathway. This is an extension program where 3 students can be selected per sport to represent CHPS and try to make the Victorian Squad. This is a process where by the PE teachers will nominate the 3 students and the Principal is required to endorse the nomination. Further information will be discussed during Friday Sport tomorrow but if your child has represented their sport at an elite level then we would encourage them to fill out the compass survey and the PE staff will receive their survey application. Applications will close this Friday 20/2/26. If a student is successful, the PE staff will notify families of next steps.
The 5 sports that are currently open for nomination are:
Cricket (boys) – girls will be later in the year
Basketball (boys & girls)
Soccer (boys) – girls will be later in the year
Netball (girls) – boys will be later in the year
AFL (boys) – girls will be later this term
Senior Gala Day #1: Year 5 & 6
Our Senior Summer Gala Days are coming up on Tuesday 2nd March (week 6) and Tuesday 10th March (week 7). Over the next couple of weeks, we will be trialling students for team selection of the various different sports: Basketball, Cricket, Sofcrosse, Tennis, Volley bounce & Tee ball.
If you are available to assist with trainings on a Friday (12:15-1:30pm) or help on a Gala Day (9:30 - 2:30pm), please contact Jarrod Butcher via email jarrod.butcher@education.vic.gov.au
If you have emailed your intention to help, Jarrod Butcher will make contact with you to assist with the Gala Days once we have all of the teams sorted. He appreciates the emails he has received so far, but it is hard to organise volunteers when we don't know what students are in each team.
A compass event will be sent out in the coming weeks for parent consent and payment.
