St Simon Athletics Team
The Rowville District Athletics Competition will be on Friday 11th August in Term 3. Our St Simon’s District Athletics team will be announced shortly.
Selection within this team is based not only on the times and distances collected from our Year 3-6 Athletic Day but through tracks and field skills and measurements obtained within the Physical Education program. In addition, previous times and results from last year’s District Athletics competition will be taken into consideration during the selection.
We ask parents to keep an eye out for the Operoo permission form stating your child’s selection into the St Simon Athletics team.
Rowville District Inter School Sports
Summer Sports
This term on Friday 1st September and Friday 8th September, our Year 5 and 6 students will again represent the school at the District Summer Sports competition. The sports on offer for the Inter School Summer Sport competition include Hot Shots Tennis, Volleyball, T20 Blast Cricket, Fully Loaded Softball and European Handball.
Once again, our school has been permitted to submit additional teams in the Summer Sport competition. Therefore this has opened up the opportunity for all Year 5 and 6 students to attend both days as a competitor or supporting team member.
Teams will be announced and sent to all Year 5 and 6 parents next week by an Operoo email message.
Parent Coaches- Urgent
We need the help of at least 2 parent volunteers to support us as coaches for the following sport
- T20 Cricket A Boys and B Boys
- Hot Shots Tennis Boys and Girls
- European Handball Boys and Girls.
This will allow our St Simon staff to supervise teams and provide first aid and guidance to students throughout the two days.
If you wish to support us with coaching a team or know of someone who can coach a team and is available to help out, please contact Mr Karl Camerino directly by email.
