Running Club
Well done to everyone who has participated over the last 3 weeks, as a group we have run/walked a massive 21km, that’s equivalent to walking to Midland Gate shopping center from the school, amazing!
We also have our first student to reach the 5km Club! Well Done to Cody in Class 8.
A reminder, Running Club is all about having a go and moving our bodies, enjoying the company of friends and being proud of your own efforts. We welcome students, staff, siblings, and parents to walk, run or jog with us. Meet us on the oval and be sure to bring your drink bottle.
Running Club is on a Friday morning between 8am – 8:25am.
If you would like more information or would like to register your interest, please email Siobhan on sjones@pws.wa.edu.au.
Interschool Sport
A reminder that the boys Netball Carnival for Class 8 and 9 is on the 23rd of May, there will be an after-school training session on Monday the 20th of May from 3:30-4:30 for any students who would like to attend. Fixtures will come out at the end of next week and then I will email some more information to parents.
We had our first of the two Netball Carnivals in week 3, which involved taking 3 teams down to Fremantle Netball Association. The students got the full Netball Carnival experience with games, forfeits, rain, wind and even the Lightning Rule being called which led to one round of games being cancelled. The students had some tough games but always represented the school and themselves well, with their behavior on and off the court being excellent and the student's skill level increased throughout the day.
Thank you to the parents for managing to get the students up and ready for the early 7:30am start and for supporting the students in attending the Netball Clinic in preparation. Also, a big thank you to Donna who coached our Class 8 Team and one of our wonderful Class 7 mums Megan who coached our Class 7 team.
The 2024 Winter season at Mundaring Arena is already up and running but they do run a Spring competition on Monday Nights in Term 4 with both mixed and ladies teams, so if your child has found a love for the sport this would be a great opportunity for them to get involved. I will put some more information about this closer to the time.
Lastly let’s end this wrap up with the chant the Class 7 students came up with on the day of the carnival…
