A Caremonkey form will be distributed to all students. Please read through all the information and keep in mind that we do ask for parent help on the day and information regarding students returning to school at the conclusion of the day.
Athletics day requires large volunteer numbers in order to run the events smoothly and within the time constraints of the day. Volunteers are asked to nominate which area they would prefer to assist in - Juniors Years or Middle/Seniors years, along with a time estimate for when you are available on the day. Ms Lisa will email all parents wishing to volunteer of the job and the teacher you will be working with.
Information relating to return travel is required to assist us with ordering buses from Landy Field back to school.
DIVISION SWIMMING
Thank you to all the students who took part in our school swimming trials last week. We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful swimmers. Our school can only submit 2 students per event per age group. Unfortunately, this means some students who trialled have not been selected in the Swim team for this year. These students have been notified by Ms Lisa and encouraged to have a go again next year and to be proud of their achievements.
Students who have been selected have also been notified and have a hard copy of the events they will be participating in. A Caremonkey eform will be distributed next week. The Division Swimming Championship will be held at Kardinia Aquatic Centre, Wednesday 20 March 2019.
