SPORTS UPDATE
Rural Cluster Swimming Sports
On Tuesday 12th March we have the rural schools cluster swimming sports for children in years 5-8. These will be at the Stratford pools from 10.00- 1.30pm ( approx).
We will be travelling to and from school by bus - leaving at 9.15am.
All Y5-8 children are expected to participate as there are both non competitive and competitive events. For children who really lack confidence in the new big pool in town - the middle pool will be used. Children will return back to school on buses afterwards. Students will need to be wearing their Toko school uniform as well as warm clothes to get changed into. They will also need to take water and their lunch to the event. We are looking forward to a great event. If you are intending on taking your child home from swimming sports can you please let the school know by Thursday 7th March. The buses are very costly.
We are also in need of parents that are able to help with either time keeping and judging at this event. If you are able to commit to this role can you please either let Tracy or Shelley know
Any questions please let Shelley know.
Year 3-8 Hockey Tournament
On Friday 15th March we have a Year 3-5 team and two Y6-8 teams playing in the interschool hockey tournament. Notices were sent home last Thursday with all children involved. Please note all players require a mouth guard, shin pads and long socks. Please let Shelley or Tracy if you are having trouble borrowing these ( please attempt before contacting us as we have limited resources). We have sticks that we can supply to those that need them.
Turnbull Cup
We had 8 swimmers attend Turnball Cup last Wednesday night, with two teams in the small schools relay. Both teams gave it their best and had a fun time competing.
We had plenty of individual swimmers swim 25/50 metres, and a big congratulations to Cohen who came away with 3rd place in the Year 6 boys 25mtr freestyle.
