HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY

It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic and eager students with House Coloured shirts/tops, ready to tackle the Cross Country Course. Parents, teachers and students cheered on all competitors as they ran the course in true Cross Country conditions - windy and wet. Some students finished the race with smiles on their faces, whilst others showed exhaustion or relief. The most rewarding thing was to see so many students participating and giving it their best to complete the course. Not everyone can be in the top 10, but everyone is a winner when they give 100%.

Thank you to the following parents/helpers who provided valuable support and encouragement for all competitors as well as greatly assisting me with handing out wrist bands, timing, place-judging and data entry.

Kim Taranto (Lennox), Katy Crockford (Piper, Freddie and Liam), Cassie Fitzgerald (Anna and Jett), Tim Rochford (Liam), Amy and Kane Lennane (Kyron, Blake and Bailey), Sam Small (Jasper and Oliver), Cathie Bailey (Bodhi and Tegan), Andy Fahl (Sohpie), Sheldon Headspeath (Miker), Leah Gilbert (Amy and Ava)

It is also important to mention the role of the House Captains and Vice Captains. They assisted with the set up and pack up of the course. In the younger age group races they scattered themselves around the course to cheer on the competitors, providing them with encouragement and assistance for some students who were at times a little distressed.

YEAR 6 INTERSCHOOL SUMMER SPORT

In Year 6, students have the opportunity to play sport against other schools. The students participated in one of the following sports – rounders, softball, newcombe, and cricket. Friday mornings were spent practising the skills of the game, developing game strategies and learning the rules of the game. Last week, the students then participated in the Lightning Premiership against the schools in the District – Baxter, Langwarrin, Pearcedale, Somerville, Somerville Rise and Woodlands. All students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

It is important for all involved - coaches, players and spectators - that there is a Code of Conduct from School Sport Victoria that must be adhered to at any Educational Sporting event. It would be appreciated if spectators attending any events, familiarised themselves with the expectations.
