From the Sports Desk…. Years 3 -6 PSSA Sport Years 3-6 will begin their inter-school sport competition in Week 3. Permission notes for this went out on Wednesday this week. Please return these to class teachers by next Wednesday 27th July. Please note there will be no PSSA in Weeks 4 or 6 due to district athletics and southern stars. Students will be participating in either;
Yr 3/4 AUSKICK or Year 5/6 Mixed AUSKICK at Figtree oval. Yrs 3- 6 girls netball and Year 5/6 mixed netball at Fred Finch Park – Berkeley Yrs 3 -6 boys soccer at Fred Finch Park – Berkeley or school tennis for Year 5/6.
A reminder to the boys soccer teams, you must bring shin pads and long socks to wear or you will not be allowed to play. Please be at school on time on Fridays as the buses will depart at 9:05am after a roll call.
CWPSSA District Athletics Congratulations to the all the students will represent Keiraville at the district athletics carnival. Permission notes for these went out last term and should be returned to Mrs Delaney by tomorrow. The district athletics will be held on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th August at Beaton Park. Good luck to all our competitors.
Sporting Schools Grant Our school has been fortunate enough to secure some sport funding for this semester. Part of that funding will pay for half of the cost for each student in the school for the ‘Gymsport’ program that will run in Term 3 as part of our Physical Education program. This program will begin in Week 2 and conclude in Week 9.
Annual Sporting Recognition Assembly Our annual sporting recognition assembly will be held on Friday 16th September at 12pm in the school hall. As it is the 125th year anniversary, we will celebrate KPS over some of these years and will finish with an afternoon tea for our parents, visitors and special guests. M Pigram Sport Coordinator
Southern Stars Dance update
Southern Stars is fast approaching and rehearsals are underway. Just a reminder that the first
dance rehearsal at Figtree High School is on this coming Monday 25th July. Thank you to parents
who have kindly offered to transport students to and from the rehearsals. A separate note has
been sent home outlining travel arrangements. Please return all requested notes to Mrs Veitch as
soon as possible. The next Aboriginal Dance Ensemble rehearsal is Tuesday 2nd August. The
reports from your first rehearsal have been fantastic.
