Thank you to all the students who competed and the helpers who did their roles very well. The names in the Champions and placegetters report is quite a family affair!

Champions Report

The students who attended and participated had a very enjoyable day. It is so disappointing though to have so many good swimmers in the school who choose not to swim and have a go. This leaves us in a very difficult position for interschool selection. We were leading last year going into the final relays but as we had no middle and senior relays, we got swamped in the last 10 events.

Students have been notified of the chances to make themselves available for selection.

Swimming sports lost property – picked up at the end of the day – one purple beach towel, PE shorts, sunglasses, Adidas Slides, black v neck top, lip balm. Collect from

Mr Darcy.

Entries and Training

Students will be able to sign up to be considered for team selections on a Compass post that will be activated in a few days. This gives us an indication whether we have the interested numbers to enter a team. If students fail to sign up then we have to assume that there is little interest and that team will not be entered.

Training will most likely occur on Mondays and Fridays afterschool 3.15pm-4.15pm. Some Thursdays may also need to be introduced in the middle terms due to the number of teams expected to enter.

House Allocation

All students have been entered in to a House. We have a focus on maintaining House family history so that all direct family members are in the same house. This can be complicated a little bit with blended families and a variety of other reasons. If any family would prefer their student to be in a different house we are open to change in support of family history. Other possible reasons for a negotiated change do exist and can be looked at.

General Sport Excursion Reminders

All consent forms must be returned like every other excursion to the front office WITH the payment by the due date on the form.
No student will be allowed to bring the consent form on the day and/or bring the money on the day.
No CONSENT form - No MONEY – not returned by DUE date = No GO = get left behind = unhappy team and coach
If your family qualify for the Camps and Excursions fund provided by the Govt. you need to collect a form from the General Office. This helps you pay for all camps and excursions, but it must be registered by June. You can only access the fund after your form has been processed.
