Swimming Carnival
Our swimming carnival is scheduled for Monday 6 December (Week 10) at Port Macquarie swimming pool. While we cannot confirm the attendance of spectators at this point, we are hopeful that our parent and carer community will be able to attend in some capacity. We would love to see the return of our spectators and hope we can share this event with our whole community after what has been a challenging year. Conversations have begun amongst the staff about who will have the honour of representing the teachers in our relay squad. Competition for spots will be tough, and the teachers are very confident that they have the talent to gain yet another victory over the parents. Are the parents up for it?
Some schools use their end of year swimming carnival to double up as a selection event for their zone team to compete in the Hastings Zone Swimming carnival in February of next year. However, it is felt that holding a separate selection trial at the beginning of next year gives our potential competitors the whole of the summer break to improve, and that our junior swimmers in particular will benefit from this.
Riding Bikes to School
The number of students riding bikes to school continues to increase, with 14 bikes being counted in the bike rack this week. This is wonderful to see, and we encourage those who can, to have a try of using this method to get to and from school. We remind all of our bike riders to always wear a helmet, to walk their bikes in and out of the school gates, and to always follow the road rules.
Congratulations Jack Franklin
Congratulations to Jack Franklin in Year 5, a member of the Port City Breakers U11 Rugby League team who won the Hastings Junior Sports team of the year award. This is a wonderful accomplishment for Jack and his team and we are thrilled for the recognition they received.
Port Macquarie Junior Rugby Union
We are currently looking at the feasibility of entering teams into the Port Macquarie Junior Rugby Union competition for 2022. We are considering several options, including school based teams or parish based teams, and would hope to enter teams into the U10s and U12s competitions, and would look at the U8s if there was enough interest.
The games are held at the same time on Friday night at Stuart Park in Port Macquarie. While it is a competitive season, the focus is on enjoyment and playing in the right spirit. Absolutely no playing experience is needed, and both boys and girls would be encouraged to play. We will be sending out a survey shortly, but in the meantime, if you believe your child would be interested in participating, and if you would be willing to help out with coaching or assisting in other ways, please contact craig.brazel@lism.catholic.edu.au
Summer Sports Trials - Cancelled
Unfortunately, the Hastings Summer Sports Trials which were scheduled to take place in Kempsey this term have been cancelled. We will announce a new date when it is announced in the new year.
This week at Aggies:
CAPA News
During CAPA time over the next two weeks, our students will be involved in preparing for the filming of our Festival performances. The Festival, as you may be aware, was our new version of our school’s traditional annual Creative Arts Spectacular. These performances include the dance groups that the students started learning before COVID this year and many other examples of our students work in Creative Arts.
Next week is our performance filming week. All students are required to come to school on their designated CAPA day in comfortable out of school uniform clothes. Some students will be asked to bring in some extra clothes that may be required for their grades dance group. These will also be added to your child’s class Seesaw announcements and the school App.
