School Sport with Mrs. Rachael Croker
School Swimming Carnival
Our swimming carnival on Monday saw around 35 students travel to Yass to take part in a modified swimming carnival. The students who attended enjoyed being able to swim in a 50m pool, and everyone gave it their all, with many choosing to compete in extra events on the day.
Thank you to our valued families who each year assist with timekeeping and recording to help our carnival to run smoothly. Thank you, Mrs Walsh and Mrs Lowe, for your fantastic organisation on the day.
Special mention to Lawrence house who won (by 1 second) on the day the hotly-contested team relay event. Extra special praise to Mrs Naughton and Mrs Kilborn who also competed and helped to ‘piggyback’ their team to the finish line!
Hockey Sports Program
This Friday we will commence our Sporting Schools program with NSW Hockey. Students in years 1-6 will have a 45minute session with one of the NSW Hockey coaches for the next 6 weeks. Students will focus on the core skills of pushing, trapping, moving with the ball and spatial awareness.
Students can bring their own stick with them if they wish.
We thank Sporting Schools once again for their grant, making it possible for our students to have access to high-level coaching.
