Hi Families,

2026 Dates for the calendar:

Monday 2nd March - Division Swimming (selected students)

Friday 13th March - Year 4 Interschool Sports Gala Day

Friday 27th March - House Cross Country at SJV

Tuesday 31st March - Year 5&6 Interschool Sports Gala Day

District Swimming Team

Congratulations to all of the students that competed on Wednesday in a little cooler conditions. Each student did a great job and gave it their absolute all.

2026 Division Team

Congratulations to the follow students that either progressed in their own individual event or team event. These students competed at Aqualink Ringwood today.

Team Vic Key Dates

At this time of year some parents will ask me about how their child can apply for a spot in the SSV State Team for various sports. Here you will find the Team Trial Readiness Guide that will assist you as a parent on whether you believe your child would be ready to trial for one of the sports available. Here is the information for each sport and here are the key dates for when registrations will open/close for each of the sports.

The following sports are currently open

U12 Netball Girls
U12 Cricket
U12 Basketball Girls/Boys
U12 Soccer Boys

Please ensure you have a read of the information sheet that should answer all of your questions. Parents are able to register your child in a sport that they feel their child excels in without consultation with the school. Please be advised it is a highly competitive process. If there are more than 3 students that apply for a sport, SSV will advise us at St James as we are only able to endorse 3 students for one sport. The only other time SJV needed to be involved is if your child makes the Vic Team, the principal will be asked to endorse the student before they can register for the team. I hope this answers some of the questions you may have.

Year 4-6 Gala Days

Our Year 4 Gala Day will be held on Friday 13th of March and Year 5&6 Gala Day will be held on Tuesday 31st of March. Parents should have received a permission form with all information about the day last week. If you are able to assist with coaching or helping on the day, this is greatly appreciated as we have many teams that need assistance.

As always, please get in touch if required.

Stay safe, keep active
