Nicolle

Each year the students elect House Captains who are responsible for a variety of 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 general team organization. This year the following students were elected.

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.

Championship Sprint Results

2007 Final Results

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 Mason, Chandler and Shepherd.

Our thanks go to Scott Francis for the huge amount of work he did in organising activities, preparing students for the day and for the many other organisational jobs required to make the day such a success.

The school would also 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.
