City District Sports<br />
Congratulations to Lucinda B and Freya D who have been selected in the City District Hockey Team<br />
to compete at the Met North Carnival. Also we would like to congratulate Charlie R, Declan H, Niam<br />
R and Nathan O for gaining selection in the City District Rugby League Team. Please let us know if<br />
you change your mind about attending a City District Sports Trial so we can offer the place to other<br />
students who would like to trial.<br />
Swimming<br />
Swimming lessons have now finished until Term 4. Thank you to all the parents who helped with the<br />
implementation of the swimming program. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and, particularly<br />
with the younger grades, leads to more effective outcomes for students. I would like to acknowledge<br />
the wonderful support for one of our beginner swimmers in Year 2. A very patient parent has been<br />
working with one of our girls to develop her swimming confidence and improve her mobility. A big<br />
thank you to Kylie T for your continued support.<br />
Perceptual Motor Program<br />
In Term 2 Prep and Year 1 students will participate in group perceptual motor activities starting in<br />
Week 2 and finishing in Week 9. Most of these activities require adult assistance or supervision and<br />
so I would ask for three parents/grandparents each week to help run the activities. If you are<br />
available to help at the times detailed below could you please see your class teacher next term to<br />
put your name on a roster. Thank you for your assistance.<br />

Being Active is Fun (lunch time activities)<br />
We are running fun events promoting activity each lunch time this week. Monday lunch time is for<br />
Prep and Year 1, Tuesday is for Years 2 and 3, Wednesday is a tug-a-war-athon for Years 4 and 5<br />
and on Thursday Year 7 will be playing the teachers in a game of touch football. Hopefully the Year<br />
7 students will take pity on us and there won‟t be too many injured teachers by the end of the game.<br />
If the weather interferes with our plans we will hopefully run any postponed events in Week 1 next<br />
term.<br />
Cross Country Training<br />
Boys and girls interested in trialling for the school Cross Country team should continue running<br />
during the holidays. This will improve their fitness and also give them a better chance of being<br />
selected into the school team. Year 6/7 boys and girls will run a Cross Country event on the first<br />
Friday back after the Easter break. Year 4/5 classes will run their team selection trial on Friday Week<br />
3.<br />
