Sport Spotlight
Lunchtime Sporting Skills
After a fantastic first week, Mr Taylor and Mr Lynch led a very enthusiastic group of girls for our first Netball training session.
We continue to encourage all of our Year 5 and 6 students to participate in one of the four offered sports sessions that rotate fortnightly.
Athletics Carnival
Our annual whole school Athletics Carnival will take place on Friday 4th June and this year it will be held at St Joseph’s Regional College, Port Macquarie.
All students in Year 2 to 6 will be competing in 100m and 200m sprints along with novelty games. 100m and 200m sprints will be straight finals with times determining places. 100m sprints are conducted in individual age groups whilst all other events are run as Juniors (8, 9 and 10 years), 11 years and 12 years.
800m, 1500m and Discus events will be optional and you must nominate your child via the link in the note. The 1500m will be run between 9:00am - 9:30am on the day of the carnival. Any child wishing to compete in this event will need to be dropped to St Joseph’s Regional College by private transport by 8:50am.
Successful competitors from the carnival will be invited to attend the Hastings Zone Carnival to be held at St Joseph’s Regional College on Monday 19th July (Week 2 Term 3).
As the carnival is offsite we require your permission for your child to be able to attend. Please complete the online permission and nomination form via the link in the 11th May note by Tuesday 25th May.
