Faction Sports Carnival
The children have been working very hard learning their team games and completing all the field events before the end of term. The Faction Sport Carnival will be held on Thursday, 11 October. Please return permission slips to your child’s class teacher. The Faction Carnival Program is attached. The full program will be available to view on the Library window .
With Sports Day fast approaching (11 October), here are some reminders for all of us. Parents love to see their child succeed, yet we must encourage our children, win or lose, that the Sport Carnival is meant to be fun for everyone.
- Assist them in setting realistic goals for participation.
- Emphasise and reward effort rather than results.
- Be a healthy role model for your child by being positive and relaxed
- Provide a healthy perspective to help children understand success and failure.
We are looking forward to a wonderful day of track events and team games.
