Sports Update

Welcome to the 2021 Sporting Year!

Polding Basketball Trials

Best wishes to Emily Pietsch and Jasmine Klingner who will be participating in the Polding Basketball trials in Tamworth this Friday, 5th February. Both girls were selected in the Armidale Diocesan team late last year. We know that the girls will do themselves, St Joseph’s and the Armidale Diocesan proud.

 

Swimming

A friendly reminder that ALL Years 1-6 swimming notes and money were DUE TODAY. This information is crucial in assisting in our pre-carnival testing, organisation of the Swimming Carnival and also our groupings for the Water Awareness Program. 

Some reminders:

  • Wear their full sports uniform to school.
  • Bring their swimming bag with swimmers (ONE PIECE SWIMWEAR AND RASHIES ARE A MUST), sunscreen, towel, goggles and thongs. Students will be required to change at school.

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 above website contains specific information for both staff and parents for all Armidale Diocesan Primary Sport. It contains information about sporting pathways and opportunities available within the Armidale Diocese. I encourage parents to familiarise themselves with this website as it may prove a valuable source of information.
