St. Clare’s School Swimming Carnival

We are very excited to be hosting out swimming carnival this Friday.  The program for our swimming carnival is attached to this newsletter.  Please note that times are approximate as it is very difficult to put a definitive time-line in place in a school carnival setting.

Children are required to arrive at school in the morning dressed in their swimmers, with their sport uniform over the top.  The rolls will be marked at school and then the children will make their way over to the pool.  Children are not required to wear their sun-shirt while competing, but are required to put it, or their team shirt back on immediately after their race.  Hats and sunscreen will be necessary.

We are very appreciative to the Tully Swim Club for allowing us to use their kitchen and other facilities and a special thanks goes to Leona Bradley for her assistance in running the ‘Meet Manager’ software which allows us to run a smooth well-organised event.

Please remember that tuckshop needs to be pre-ordered.  Children born in 2013 and 2014 will return to school before the lunch break so their orders will be transported back (best not to order frozen snacks).

We really appreciate parent help throughout the day!  If you can assist in the tuckshop please email mvipiana@cns.catholic.edu.au or if you can assist by time-keeping please email cjenkins@cns.catholic.edu.au

The parent relay is always a fun novelty event, enjoyed by parents and students alike.  Remember to pack your swimmers if you are keen for a lap!

Looking forward to a fabulous day!

2019 Sport Wrap-up

Our students have enjoyed a great year of sporting experiences in 2019.   In addition to our regular PE program, we have enjoyed and benefitted from morning running for fitness, specialist coaching for rugby league, netball, tennis and swimming and training for upcoming carnivals.

We have represented our school with pride and displayed great sportsmanship and spirit while enjoying a great deal of success and we congratulate our students for always putting forward their best effort.  Most importantly, our students have gained an understanding of sport and skills that they carry with them wherever they may go to join groups and stay healthy.

We thank our amazingly supportive parent body.  We are so fortunate to have such an excellent group of families willing to provide assistance by transporting, coaching and managing teams, working in tuckshops and being involved at all of our sporting events.
