The team relays are
an exciting climax to our Sports Day One of the most popular events of our school
year is the annual School Sports Day. This year's event was held on
Thursday March 24th and was attended by a large group of parents,
friends, relatives and ex-students.
Students enjoyed the friendly rivalry between
the four School Houses, Chandler,
Mason,
Nicolle
and Shepherd. This
rivalry has existed ever since the house
system was first introduced in 1978.

tasks in both the weeks leading up to Sports Day and on the day
itself. These tasks include organizing and training relay teams,
maintaining team morale and discipline, liaison with staff and

The
Primary School Sports Day (Year 3-7) is conducted on a
participation basis with all children encouraged to take part in
all events, except the Championship Sprints and Team Relays. These
events are contested by the fastest runners from each year level. |
|
Although the main
emphasis is on enjoyment, improving personal performances, skill
development, fitness and participation by all, the Primary section
of the school (Year 3-7) competes in a House competition. All
children contribute points to their House for each event in which
they participate. |

Junior Primary students were
involved in a variety of activities. Some of these activities were
organized by members of a variety of sporting and community groups
from our district. These proved very popular and the students
gained valuable direction and coaching tips to help develop their
skills. The feedback from staff, students and parents
was once again very positive. The activities were based on skill
development, fun and participation by all.
Nevertheless, the
students were very keen to succeed and they tried very hard to
achieve their best. |

This year's result
was extremely close, with the leading House changing throughout
the day. At the end of the events, when all the scores were added
up, it was victory to Nicolle followed by Chandler, Mason and
Shepherd.
The
school would like to thank all of the parents who assisted in any
way on Sports Day. Without their willing support many aspects of
Sports Day would not be possible. Parents helped record, score,
measure and time many events as well as assist in the canteen and
stalls.
Congratulations also to the dedicated House Captains who worked so
tirelessly in the weeks leading up to Sports Day. Their
organization and leadership skills were greatly appreciated on
Sports Day itself.
Thanks must
also go to all of the staff for their efforts with organization
and scoring, and to Mike Lane (Groundsperson) for his outstanding
work in preparing the oval for the day. Special thanks to
Scott Francis and
Sue Higgins who were the teachers in charge of planning and
organization. |
