House Athletics Day

The annual House Athletics events will be held at the Knox Athletics Track all day on Wednesday 15 March 2017. All Grade 4, 5 and 6 students have been invited and will be expected to attend.  If there are any parents who hold a current WWC check and are available to help for some time period of that day can they come and have a chat with me in the PE office. I will put together a roster to make sure  all parents who are available will be allocated roles and jobs ASAP. Also don’t forget the famous Staff v Students Circular Relay event at the end of the day, also giving the parents the opportunity to race against the mighty Teachers team. Thanks in advance for your support!!

Thanks to everyone involved in the successful Grade 3 to 5 swimming program. 170 students learnt water safety and life-saving skills as well as improving their swimming technique. Thanks for all the extra time given up by teachers and parents to make this program work.

Finally on Tuesday 7 March the JPPS Golf Club involving Level 5 and 6 students begins for those who have registered. There are four sessions with the final day on 28 March.

Division Swimming Championships

On Monday 27 February students from Levels 4, 5 and 6 represented our school in the Division Swimming Championships at Monash Sports and Aquatic Centre. We had a total of 16 students competing in individual and relay events. Our school performed extremely well, coming up against some private schools with their own pools and coaches. At the end of the day we had 1 relay team go through to the next round, as well as the other students in their individual events.

Congratulations to Joshua C, Jasmine P, Jessica W, Janey R, Zahli C and Shelby V who will be progressing through to Regional swimming on Friday 17 March.
