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

CONGRATULATIONS on your Regional selection.
