THE NEXT WAVE OF SOCCEROOS & MATILDAS HIT THE PITCH
Our Kindys kicked off their Sporting Schools Soccer Program yesterday and enjoyed learning new soccer skills. This program will run for 4 weeks, and I trust your child enjoys the experience.
SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL NOTES
This week, all Years 3 - 6 students were given a competitive School Swimming note. If your child intends to compete in the competitive section of our School Swimming carnival on Thursday, November 21, they must complete all details, nominate the events they would like to compete in and return by the due date. If any details still need to be completed, the form will be sent back to the student so that the missing information can be filled in. If your child isn’t planning to go in the competitive section, there is no need to return the form. Rather, they will still attend the carnival and participate in the non-competitive section of our swimming carnival.
This carnival acts as our trial for our school team to the Hastings Zone Swimming Championships in 2025. Individual awards will also be awarded to students 8-12 Years of age. Points are also given towards the Year 6 Sports Award.
If the Swimming Carnvial Note has been misplaced please find it on the link below for you to copy:
