Timing gates operator:

We are in search of a trained timing gates operator who would be happy to volunteer to run these at the Athletics Day on 7 March, 2023.  If you are interested (THANK YOU) please can you get in touch with Claire Morris.

Division Swimming (Term 1 2023):

Please complete this form to express your child's interest in the Division Swimming Competition to be held at Eureka Aquatic Centre 50m Pool on 24 February, 2023.

 

There will be an approximate cost of $10 for the event (which allows for swimmers to compete in a maximum of two individual events, one freestyle relay and one medley relay). Please note that students will be selected for their events as each school is limited on entry numbers and qualifying times are enforced.  Events and relay teams will be selected based on times provided when registering (this is compulsory) and not all students will necessarily get a place in their chosen events. 

 

This competition is open to students turning 9-13 in 2023.  Age groups are based on participants' age as of 31 December 2023.

 

This form must be completed by 8 February, 2023. Permission and payment request will follow shortly after closing date.

 

More information will be forwarded to registered families when finalised.

Athletics Day recording:

Over the next 6 weeks, Grade 3-6 students will be participating in athletics activities where we will be recording results (for either heats or as their final result) for our Athletics Day.  If your child misses a P.E. session, please touch base with me if they wish to complete this event for results prior to Athletics Day.  We will not be taking any results after the 7th March. Please let me know if you have any questions.

P.E. Shoes

Thank you to all the families who have diligently remembered to send P.E. shoes to school on their child’s P.E. day.  A reminder that these do not need to be black, just a spare pair to help protect our gym floor and allow for safe participation.
