We wish Oliver Roach the best of luck for his matches with the CIS Primary Rugby Union team competing at the NSWPSSA Rugby Championships Coffs Harbour 28th – 30th August. Oliver has made numerous trips to Sydney to train with the CIS team in preparation for next week’s Championships. Good luck Oliver.
Sporting program for K-2 students
Last week the K-2 students (who are not involved in KWS sport) had the opportunity to begin their Sporting Schools program participating in either the Hookin2 Hockey program or the Get Into Rugby program. These programs run after school 3.30pm – 4.30pm. We have specialised coaches from NSW Hockey and NSW Rugby delivering these programs to the students. Both are designed to introduce and develop student’s fundamental gross motor skills (catching, throwing, passing, striking skills, moving into space etc). Our students had a lot fun and enjoyment and are looking forward to this week’s program.
Summer Sport Selections
By next week, all parents will receive an email asking for student selections for Summer sport. The email will contain a document link to online selections. A separate form will need to be completed for each child. Summer sport is only offered to students in years 3-6 with a variety of sports and competitions offered. If your child is currently enrolled in the KWS Swim School squad program attending more than 2 sessions per week, this can be used as your child’s Summer Sport. There will be a separate tick a box for this selection.
Sporting Teams of the Week
Over the fortnight, the following teams have been nominated by their coaches for Sporting Team of the Week. Nominations are in recognition of the hard work, team play, attitude, sportsmanship and determination:
Netball
Under 9 Doves: Showed great commitment in their game on Saturday. It was a tough game but the team did not give up. It’s great to see such improvement as we come to the end of our season.
Mrs Essex
Hockey
Kookaburras: Our first non-loss in a while but more importantly maintained sportsmanship and resilience. I am so proud of them.
Mrs Key
Foxes: The team played an awesome game on Monday night showing great sportswomanship. The Foxes had a comfortable win and even assisted the opposition with additional players. Our goalkeeper Lillian Pearce was dynamite, displaying wonderful footwork and defending the goal strongly!
Mrs Barrett
Football
U11 United: They played really well on the weekend. A large score against us in the first half (think it was 5-1) but then we held them to 1 goal in the second half. Very valiant effort. Good team work and passing as well.
Mr Bracks
Rugby
12s - Wonderful ambassadors for the school and an exciting game of rugby going down 19-12.
