Sports Update

Polding Basketball Trials

Congratulations to Emily Pietsch and Jasmine Klingner for their participation in the Polding Basketball trials in Tamworth last Friday. Although Emily and Jazzy didn’t make ‘possibles and probables’ the coach said that both girls improved with every game. The girls reported that it was a great opportunity and they made some new friends. 

Swimming Carnival

On Wednesday 10th February ALL PRIMARY AND STAGE 1 LAP SWIMMERS will need to:

  • Wear their full sports uniform including a school hat. They may wear a shirt the same colour as their sports house colours (Penola - red, MacKillop - yellow and Fitzroy - blue).
  • Wear swimmers and rashies to school - underneath their sports uniform.
  • Bring their swimming bag with sunscreen, towel, goggles, thongs and underwear (for changing into at the end of the carnival). The pool change rooms are out of bounds. Students will get changed back at school at the end of the carnival.
  • Bring enough food and water to last the day - the canteen WILL NOT be available (to students OR parents/grandparents).
  • ALL students will return to school at the conclusion of the carnival. Should you wish to sign your child out, it will need to be done at school, via the Compass Kiosk, where you will also be able to collect your child.
  • This year Kindergarten children and Stage 1 students who are unable to swim a lap of the pool will stay at school. They will participate in the 4 week Water Awareness Program along with Stages 1, 2 & 3.

Thank you to the parents who have indicated that they will be attending the carnival and/or assisting with various jobs on the day. Please remember that at all times we must remain Covid Safe. Hence, maintaining social distancing of 1.5m at all times; hand sanitising upon entry, exit and regularly throughout the day; using the QR code to sign in and not attending if you are unwell are expected protocols for the day. Your assistance in doing this will be greatly appreciated.
