District & Regional Trials
Please find below a (small) list of upcoming school sport events. More information about these trials can be found on the Pine Rivers District Sports website at http://www.pineriverssport.qld.edu.au/ or alternatively come see me on Monday or Tuesdays.
Term 2
Week 7
- Tuesday 4th & Wednesday 5th June 2019: 10-12 YRS Met North Regional Athletics Trials
Term 3
Week 2
- Wednesday 24th July 2019: 10-12 YRS Pine Rivers District - Boys Cricket
School Cross Country Carnival
When: Tuesday 18th June 2019 (in exactly TWO weeks) at 8:50am for a 9:00am start
Where: On the school oval
Who: Prep – Year 6
What to bring: Students must bring their school hat, water bottle, sunscreen, closed in running shoes and sports t-shirt (for house spirit)
Distances: Prep & Year 1 – 500m
Year 2 & Year 3 (8 yrs & under) – 1km
9-10 year olds – 1.5km
11-12 year olds – 2km
Students (except for Prep – Year 2) will compete in the age they are turning or have already turned this year. For example, if a student was still yet to turn 10 years old on the 1st July then they will compete in the 10 year old race, or if they have already turned 10 on the 1st February then they will also run in the 10 year old age group.
The course will be clearly marked out on the day and students will also have the opportunity to walk their course during their PE lesson in the coming weeks. This year there will be only 2 courses marked out, a 500m and 1km course. For the age groups doing 1.5km this means that they will need to do 3 laps of the 500m course and those running 2km will do 2 laps of the 1km course. Both boys and girls for each age group will be out running their course together, however there will be a 1 minute gap between them starting (boys first, then girls). Our younger students in Prep and Year 1 will also have some senior students running along with them for encouragement and to ensure they run the correct way. As always there will be staff marshalling the course for supervision and additional cheering.
We look forward to seeing everyone up on our scenic oval.
PE Class of the Week
Congratulations to 1L for being on time and organised in PE last week. It was lovely to start the lesson on time and complete all the activities. Keep up the great work and you may see the PE trophy again this term. Well done 1L!
