Dear Parents and Carers,

The term is already flying ahead with all of our sporting events. What a busy first four weeks it has been!

To start us off, our first Sacred Heart sporting event of the year will be the school’s Cross Country which will be held at Allan Border Oval on Tuesday the 12th of March for students in Year 2 to Year 6. We are still looking for parent volunteers to assist, so please let me know if that’s you!

With our first sporting event coming up, please be reminded that SCS requires additional steps for parents to volunteer. If you are looking to volunteer for any sporting events this year, please read the communication on Compass sent at the end of last year and ensure to complete every step.

On another note, the Year 1 to Year 6 students have also had a treat with our very own Netball Coach joining Sacred Heart in the first three weeks of school. She introduced and taught students the basics and game play of Netball through fun games and drills. I would like to extend a really big and heartfelt thank you to Jacqui Donoghue for her time and to the Sacred Heart Netball Club for such an amazing initiative.

Sacred Heart will also have a few of our Stage 3 students representing our school in Conference trials for netball, rugby league, football (soccer) and swimming championships (March 4). Please be sure to wish those students trialling in the above sports good luck as they have their trials this week or early next week.

We also want to wish good luck to Coco Mutton and Emily Dynon, who on Friday the 23rd of February, will be trialling and competing for a position in the MacKillop Basketball Teams. We understand that the competition only gets harder at this level and wish them all the best. We as a school are proud of their efforts, regardless of results.

That’s all for now in sporting news. I look forward to giving you all further updates on our student achievements. Until next time!

Kind Regards,

Miss Austrie Calizar

Sports Co-ordinator
