On Thursday 24 October, two teams from Year 5 will be participating in the Cricket Gala Day which will be held at Thomas Dalton Park at Towradgi. This will be an exciting experience for our students to compete in a different sporting arena. This may inspire them to take up the sport of cricket. Mr Gilmore will be supervising the teams on the day.

Swimming

The school swimming program will commence on Friday 25 October at the University Pool in Wollongong. Every child should have received a permission note outlining the details regarding dates of the program and what to wear on the day. Often on these days, clothes go missing so it would be advisable that all clothing and goggles be marked with your child’s name. This is a five week program but there will be NO SWIMMING on Friday 8 November. Could all notes and payments be returned to school by the Thursday 24 October?

Swimming Carnival

On Thursday 5 December, the School Swimming Carnival will be held at The Wollongong University Pool. This is an invitation for all competent swimmers from Year 2 to Year 6 who can swim 50m. This is also an opportunity to participate in 25m races as well as enjoy novelty events at the conclusion of the carnival. Parents are welcome to support students on the day, the Wollongong University Pool does charge a small cost for parent entry. Permission notes and nomination of participating events will be handed out in week 3. There is no cost for the students on this day.
