2015 promises to be an excellent year for sport. We will be running some new initiatives to promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle as well as keeping things that have been working well.
Just a little glance of what the school will be offering this year:
Gala Days:
- For Summer we will be offering Oz Tag for Girls & Boys for both Senior and Junior students. (If you are wondering why we are not doing Cricket this year, it is because we asked the students and they voted overwhelmingly for Oz Tag)
- For Winter we will be offering AFL and Netball. Both sports allow boys and girls on the same team. There will be Junior and Senior teams for each.
Carnivals:
- Swimming. The Swimming carnival for competitors will be held in Term 1 for years 3-6. (This is for confident swimmers only) BUT the not so confident (or learner swimmers) will not miss out as we will also be offering swimming scheme in Term 3. Swim scheme is offered from year 2 - 6.
- Cross-Country. The K-6 cross-country will be held in Term 2 and students who are 8 and over and place in the top 6 will gain selection for the Zone cross-country.
- Athletics. The school athletics carnival for years 3-6 will be held in Term 3 at the Campbelltown Athletics Stadium (with subsidised funding courtesy of our wonderful P&C). We are also aiming at holding a K-2 Athletics carnival (at this time a date has not been set)
Zone Sport Representation:
- Selected students in years 5 & 6 (and some year 4) will be given the opportunity to trial for Campbelltown Zone sports teams. There are many sports and the trials have already begun. If your child does things like diving, orienteering or tennis outside of our school environment, please let Mrs Menne know.
