GRADE 6 BIKE EDUCATION PARENT HELPERS
Due to timetabling issues and the fact we have had no parent volunteers, we have had to postpone Grade 6 Bike Education until Term 2.
It will occur in Week 1, 2 and 4: 28/4, 5/4, 19.4.
Parents are encouraged to collect their child’s bicycle from school so students can have it over the holidays and return it on Friday 28 April.
We still need 2 parents to assist between 11.30 am -1.15 pm Friday on the above dates. Any parents across the school (Junior or Senior) who has a Working with Children Check registered with the school and is able to ride a bike and assist in supervising the Grade 6 students please contact Giuliana via email at gfaiola@sfslynbrook.catholic.edu.au
Please ensure you acknowledge the Operoo notification about the change of dates.
SENIOR NETBALL CLINICS
We would like to thank the Casey Netball Association for providing coaches to run netball clinics for the seniors. The students had a great time and learnt more about one of our Summer Inter-school Sports. There is a flyer in the back of the newsletter if you’re interested in your child doing netball after school.
REGIONAL SWIMMING
Congratulations to Orlando for representing us at Regional Swimming Monday. What a great effort! We are so proud of his achievement.
JUNIOR SPORTS
TERM 2 SPORT CLINICS
We are excited to inform you that once again we have received funding through Sporting Schools for Term 2. We are in the midst of organising hockey clinics for the Juniors and will provide further details as soon as this is confirmed.
We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. We hope you enjoy the Easter celebrations with your family and friends.
