Peninsula Trials – 10-12yrs Basketball
Ruby Wilson, Dean Giardina and Chace Crema represented our school and district at the Peninsula 10-12yrs Boys and Girls’ Basketball Trials yesterday at Cairns. Ruby played in the Tropic Coast North team which remained undefeated for the day while Dean and Chace played in the Cassowary Coast Boys’ team achieving very close scores against very tough competitions. Well done Ruby, Dean & Chace!
Cross Country
Our Cross Country will be held this Friday 5th April which is our last day of school. We will start with our 12yr old students at around 9 am and work our way down each age group of boys and girls to our 5yr old students. This format allows our older students, running a considerable distance, to compete at a cooler time while also giving our younger students an opportunity to settle in and watch a couple of races before their turn.
12yr (2007) and 11yr (2008) students run approx 3km.
10yr (2009) and 9yr (2010) students run approx 2km.
8yr (2011) and 7yr (2012) students run approx 1km.
6yr (2013) and 5yr (2014) students run approx 500m.
Students wear a Woomera (yellow) or Cooby (blue) shirt along with shorts or tights. Shoes must be worn while running. Asthmatics are required to carry medication in a pocket. Sunscreen and hats must be worn. A towel, spare clothes/shoes, a plastic bag and mosquito repellent are recommended, particularly if the weather is wet.
Usually the running is finished at around 11am and we go to the Montefalco for presentations.
Children placing 1st-3rd comfortably, will be invited to compete at the Cassowary Coast School Sport Cross Country at Warrina Lakes on 9th May 2019.

Thankyou to Parents
We have had a huge term of sport and would like to thank our wonderful parents for all the fantastic support given to our students by providing transport, volunteering in canteens, running water, coaching, managing, setting up and packing down. We are very fortunate to have such a great school community and hope that families enjoy their time with us at sporting events.
