Parent Drivers

During the year we can have up to ten occasions when it is not economically viable to hire a bus for a team to participate in a District, Division, Region, Zone or State event. On these occasions, we need the assistance of Parent Drivers to provide the opportunity for the students to participate.

It is now a State Education, Catholic Education and St Brendan’s requirement that parent drivers need to have completed the Working with Children Check. This can be completed on line: www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au

The application only takes a matter of minutes and lasts for five years. If you are in need of any further information, please contact the office.

Bayside District Swimming Trials: Week 5 FRIDAY 28 Feb

i.e If a child is turning 10 this year, they will compete as a 10 year old.

This year, students who enter have to be a weekly squad swimmer and they need to be able to complete their event by the times that will be provided in the next couple of weeks.

I will be handing out permission forms to interested students who qualify over the next couple of weeks.

Before School Athletics Training: will be conducted from 8.20-8.40am on both Tuesday and Wednesday for Grade 3-6 students. Students will need to bring along their runners to change into on these days.

Hats and asthma puffers: need to be brought to P.E sessions. Children without a hat will not be able to participate in the activities during term 1 re St Brendan’s Sun Protection Policy. Due to training for field athletics and cross country events, it is extremely important that asthmatics have their puffer at P.E. sessions.
