Diocesan Winter Sport Trials 

Next week, the diocesan winter sports trials will be held for netball, soccer and rugby league. We would like to wish Anna (soccer), Evie, Zoe, Maisie (netball), Ace and Patrick J (rugby league) the best of luck for their upcoming trials. Good luck and we cannot wait to hear about your time at the trials! 

Diocesan AFL Trials 

In Week 6, Harry K, Patrick J, Leo D, and Harry G represented our school at the Dio AFL Trials in Teralba. Congratulations to all the boys on their efforts—we’ve heard there was some impressive talent on display! A special congratulations to Harry K, who was selected for the Dio AFL Team. He will go on to compete at the Polding Trials in Warners Bay in early April. Well done to all!

St James’ Kotara South Cross-Country
Competition Year 2 to Year 6

The St James School Cross Country Competition will be held at Nesbitt Park on Friday the 4th of April. The children will walk to and from Nesbitt Park with their class teachers and learning support staff.

The first race for the 8s, 9s and 10-year-old girls and boys will begin as close to 9:15am as possible. The course will be 2km.

The second race for the 11 and 12-year-old girls and boys will begin as close to 10am as possible. This course will be 3km.

 

Important things to note:

  • Please make sure your child brings their water bottle and hat to school on this day.
  • We would also ask that they arrive at school wearing sunscreen.
  • The teachers will carry any medication with them to and from the park.
  • All children will wear sports uniform on this day.
  • Spectators are most welcome to attend and cheer on the children from outside of the running track.
  • Any children who are in Year 2 and turn 7 in 2025 may still participate with their cohort "just for fun." However, they will not be able to progress to the Diocesan competition. 

The Diocesan Cross Country will be held on the 14th of May. The first 3 from each age category will progress to the Diocesan Cross-Country Competition, providing they meet qualifying times. Please note, the 8s and 9s are combined as one category for this event.

Please pray for good weather and we hope this will be a fun and memorable experience for the children.
