Swimming Program and Carnival
On Thursday 28th November, St James held our annual swimming carnival on the final day of the school swimming program. The day was an absolute buzz with a wonderful community feel and a lot of support from parents in the stands and especially our volunteers on the ground.
I felt extremely proud of all of our students who showed terrific examples of courage and resilience by being involved in a number of events on the day.
The results of the day were as follows;
A huge thank-you to our volunteers who were terrific at not only supporting myself and the other staff but also the students. Your ability to jump in were needed and make decisions that needed to be made was fantastic and I am extremely grateful for your support.
School Sport Victoria Representative Teams Nominations
If your son/daughter is a high level competitor in any sports School Sport Victoria holds trials for team representatives annually. Please find below information regarding the process and applications for the 2020 representative team trials.
School Sport Victoria will once again be offering the opportunity for students with emerging talent from St James' School to register to trial for School Sport Victoria Team Vic State Teams in 2020.
Registrations to trial open on Sunday 1 December, 2019 and remain open until Sunday 1 March, 2020 for Boys Australian Football, Netball, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, and Boys Football (Soccer).
Trails are not Come ‘n’ Try opportunities. They are a process for selecting a Team Vic State Team to represent the state at School Sport Australia Championships.
The following supporting documents will assist your school community in understanding the process for registration:
1. Team Vic Big 5 process letter for parents and teachers
2. Team Vic Big 5 nomination letter to parents (for a maximum of 3 students per team)
3. Team Vic Big 5 not successful nomination letter to parents
A minor change to the process for 2020 is:
a. 12 Years and Under Girls Australian Football will be offered. All nominees will go direct to State Trials.
b. 12 Years and Under Girls Football (Soccer) will not be required to go through stages of selection. All nominees will go direct to State Trials.

Tennis Trials
Holt District Tennis Competition
Friday 14th February 2020
Over the last two weeks I have been holding tennis trials during lunch times. There has been some very tough competition from many students across year 4 and 5. I will be holding the final trials on Tuesday this week, with the hope that parents will be notified as soon as possible. If your child makes it through to representing St James parents will be asked to take their own children on this day as there are only 4 students (two males and two females) who are eligible. The competition is held at St Patricks Murrumbeena Tennis Club.
Thank-you,
Mrs Georgia McNamara
Sport Co-ordinator
