School Sport 2023

Congratulations Charlie and Chloe

"Charlie and Chloe Thomas (SSOs at LNPS) competed and won the Grandfinal in State League Tennis at Memorial Drive on Sunday 5/03/2023. This is their 4th summer season premiership win in a row for Glenlea Tennis Club in State League, and 7th title consecutively won over the last 5 years. The Thomas sisters love playing State League tennis and often play doubles together. They are honoured to represent Glenlea Tennis Club and Tennis SA in this sport and inspire younger children to keep working hard towards their goals in sport".

Congratulations Annabelle

Annabelle started diving in 2021 and has been diving for just over 2 years at Diving SA. During this time she has competed in several diving carnivals and won gold at her first carnival.

Annabelle trains twice a week for an hour each session. These sessions are on Wednesday and Friday nights. Annabelle has always been fascinated with diving.

Annabelle was so excited to represent LNPS at the current SA School Sports which was on Friday 3rd March 2023.

She did amazing in all her 4 individual dives and she ended up 4th in her age group and she also did great with her 3 synchro dives as well.

Soccer players are needed!!

LNPS submits teams to play in the North West Junior Soccer Association (NWJSA), which runs Saturday morning school-competition for term 2 and term 3.

We need more players, especially in years 3-6, to fill teams for the 2023 season (but will welcome all new registrations!). This competition is open to all Primary-school-aged children (reception to year 6).

You can register your child by emailing Katie or Vanessa. Please provide the following details: Child’s name, DOB, year level and class.

Further information

Matches commence Saturday, May 13th (term 2, week 2). There are no matches on long weekends, or over holiday breaks.
Teams are organised by age group, by the age they are turning in the calendar year. Players can play up to one age group up. Where possible we aim to keep players of the same year level together.
Uniform is a school soccer top, purchased by families, navy shorts, socks (long football socks – navy), shin guards (compulsory to play), and football boots.
Matches are played Saturday mornings at St Clair or Westlakes. Game times vary between approximately 8am to 12pm.
You do not need to be an experienced player! U6 and U7 teams have a 30 minute pre-match clinic run by NWJSA (on the Saturday morning), followed by a short match. U8 to Senior have matches only on game day.
Soccer (at all ages) is a mixed team sport.
Soccer is a winter sport and will be played in the rain. This competition is rarely cancelled!
Soccer, like all school sport, is run by volunteers. Each team needs a coach/team manager to assist on game day with general team organisation, and to run team training if they wish. The LNPS oval is available for team training on Wednesday after school. In previous years, coaches have run training and teams have shared the oval during this time.

If your child is interested in playing soccer, or if you would like further information please email lnps.soccer@gmail.com (Katie) or Vanessa.rushe993@schools.sa.edu.au
