St James Athletics Carnival

The St James Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday 20th April at GR Bricker Reserve, Moorabbin. The Sandy athletics track is being renovated so that was unavailable. All students have been practising the skills required for this day during our Physical Education classes and are very keen to put them into practice. The senior students in Year 3-6 program will begin at 9.30am and will be completed at approximately 2.30pm. Senior students will compete in age groups NOT year levels as this is what they will have to compete in if they are successful in making it onto the St James Athletics Team. They will complete in the following field events: shot put, discus, high jump, triple jump and long jump. As well as the following track events: hurdles, 100m, 200m and 800m’s. 

The Junior (Prep-2) students program will run from 11am until approx 1.15pm. They will be involved in fun activities which are athletics related: eg. sprints, hurdles, bean bag toss, egg and spoon and sack relays etc. 

An Operoo has been sent today with further details. Please ensure your child’s profile is up to date and if you wish to volunteer your WWCC is current and also uploaded. Our carnivals rely on volunteers and I know I will get many from the wonderful St James Community. 

St James Soccer Team

The St James Soccer Team Trials were held last Tuesday lunchtime, for year 5 and 6 students. The team has been chosen and will begin training during lunchtimes next week. The Team will play at the Holt District Lightening Premiership on Friday 23rd April at Caulfield Park. An Operoo will be sent home next week in regards to all the details and asking for parent volunteers for both the boys and girls teams.
