Cross Country Update and Program

We are looking forward to this Wednesday’s Cross Country and the students have been busy preparing for this event during PE lessons and with their classroom teachers.  Below is a timetable for the day.  Parents who are willing to be marshals around the course would be greatly appreciated and will need to report to the Office on arrival.

The top 6 students in the 10yr old, 11 yr old and 12/13 yr old groups ONLY can progress to the District competition.  (Unless select students have proven exceptional times previously recorded in long distance athletics’ trials.) Students can come dressed in their Sports Uniform next Wednesday 5th May.

NOTE:

These times are a guide only. If weather permits we will stick to these as closely as possible.

These decisions will be made outside on the course and the office will not be able to assist with updated times on the day sorry.

Division Athletics

Congratulations to the 17 athletes who have qualified for the Regional Athletics Finals.  A wonderful achievement to have advanced to this level.  They will compete this Friday 7th May at Brauerander Park.  We wish them all the best on the day! 

State Swimming Championships

We would like to congratulate our Freestyle Relay swimmers for the supreme effort in finishing 6th in the State!  Mr Gray thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the support crew that cheered the girls on at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on Monday 26th April.  The Year 6 students were thrilled to also make up the support crew with the thanks to modern technology and the Live Streaming of their race.  Congratulations girls!

District Golf Trials

The registration for those students interested in trialing for the upcoming Golf Team closes today.  Mrs Saywell will continue the trials this afternoon where she will choose the final students to represent our school on Friday 14th May. The team will have a training session on Monday 10th May.

Year 5/6 Winter Sports trials this week

Those students who chose Netball as their first preference will commence their trials this week and are allowed to wear their sports uniform in order to attend these sessions with myself and Mrs McIntyre-Hand.  We have the difficult task of only choosing 10 students to play on Thursday 3rd June.  Tee-Ball trials will also commence this week and Footy/Soccer trials will start next week.  Students can continue to look at the Sports Noticeboard in the Hall for Training dates and on the daily memo visible on Simon.
