Sport News
Term I is always a pretty sporty period and we have been enjoying some great events with a lot of success stories. Here are a couple more events to whet the appetite of our sporty children.
ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
Next week children will be asked to nominate for events for our Athletics Carnival. A COMPASS Event will be posted for parents to provide permission for their child to participate in the carnival. The carnival will be held on Tuesday 21 March. The children are invited to compete in the 70m (infants), 100m (all age) and 200m & 800m(8-12yo). Placegetters in these events will be invited to represent the school at the Regional Carnival next term. The cost for our event is NIL as it is covered in the Sport Levy of the school Fees.
SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY
We will be conducting our annual Cross-Country event on Thursday 30 March in the school grounds from 10am. Different age groups will race over different lengths to try to qualify to represent the school at the Diocesan Carnival to be held on Wednesday 10 May. Children who wish to qualify for the Diocesan event need to finish their race under the following times:
Age Distance Qualifying Time |
Age Distance Qualifying Time |
Girls 8/9 yrs 2kms 13 mins |
Boys 8/9 yrs 2kms 11 mins |
Girls 10 yrs 2kms 13 mins |
Boys 10 yrs 2kms 11 mins |
Girls 11 yrs 3kms 18 mins |
Boys 11 yrs 3kms 16 mins |
Girls 12/13yrs 3kms 18 mins |
Boys 12/13 yrs 3kms 16 mins |
We encourage all the children to get out and have a go – whether it be just to walk, skip, hop or just have a bit of exercise with their friends. Parents are welcome to spectate – or even join in if they wish.
REGIONAL REPS
We wish Gemma & Charlie (soccer) and Harrison (rugby league) all the best as they represent the region at the upcoming Diocesan trials next week.
CONGRATULATIONS on your Regional selection.
