Postponed - Football (soccer). Due to closed fields, the Diocesan Soccer trials will now be held next Wednesday 23rd March at the Hockey Complex, Oliver Street in Grafton. Please note there is no canteen. BYO lunch recommended. IMPORTANT- Students are to wear flat jogger/sporting shoes only on the hockey fields, not synthetic moulded or spiked soccer boots. Students who attend Diocesan Winter Sports Trials for Soccer will be allowed to run the Cross Country in the coming days here at school for an official time in order to compete for a spot at Zone Cross Country.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you again for your flexibility in these unforeseen circumstances.

Cross Country

Our annual school Cross Country Carnival which was scheduled for Wednesday 16th March (Week 7, Term 1) has been postponed due to the weather.  The carnival will now be held next Wednesday 23rd March (Week 8, Term 1) in and around the school grounds. This carnival is for all students in Kindergarten to Year 6.

Shared Lunch: We are pleased that we can also welcome parents and carers to join their children for lunch on the day (weather dependent due to limited covered spaces). Students will be able to sit with their parents/carers out on our playground grass areas or on the undercover areas of the MPA and back of the Library, picnic style (BYO seating). It is important for supervision and safety that students are in these areas. You are invited to bring food to share with your child/ren if this suits you, or they can use their own food packed for the day. The canteen is unable to cater for all who visit, so will only be able to cater for pre-ordered student lunches. We ask parents and carers not to order in flexischools or in person at the canteen for any family members who are not students in our classes.

Parents and carers attending our carnival are to adhere with current COVID-19 Guidelines. This requires all to continue with the social distancing guidelines of 1.5m, sanitise hands on entry and remain in designated areas around the track within and outside of school grounds, keeping away from the running track and class gathering areas. All visitors entering the school must complete the digital QR sign in and sign out, so will need to factor extra time into arrival. 

Please refer to the below timetable for times when students will be competing.  Please note these times are an approximate guide only as they are dependent on how fast each race occurs and the smooth change over to the next age group.
