The Murdoch District Swim Trials will be held at the Pines Swimming Pool on Thursday 24th February. Parents and guardians of students in Year 4-6 have been sent an email asking them to show an expression of interest if their child would like to compete in the trials. Students would need to complete a lap of a 50 metre pool within a specified time in order to participate. Registration closes on the 11th February. If you would like any further information regarding this event, please contact Mr Smith or send an email at anthony.smith@education.vic.gov.au

2022 Cross Country

The 2022 Langwarrin Primary School Cross Country will be held at Lloyd Park on Tuesday 1st March. All Year 3 to 6 students will attempt to compete a 2km (9 & 10 Y.O’s) and 3km (11, 12 & 13 Y.O’s) course. Students will be doing some training at school during P.E lessons and are most welcome to do some training outside of school hours to help build their endurance. These events cannot be run successfully without the help of parent volunteers. If you are willing and/or have the time to spare for this event, we would love to hear from you. The first scheduled race is 9:45 am and the final race is completed by 12:45 pm. There are two ways in which you could assist on the day, if you are short of time you could assist classroom teachers by walking to and from Lloyd Park with a class or if you have 3-4 hours to spare you could be a ‘marshal’ at checkpoints on the course to direct and encourage students on their run. It is advisable to bring a deck chair, thermos, blanket and maybe even a book! If you are interested and are able to help please contact Mr Smith or send an email to anthony.smith@education.vic.gov.au
