One of the most popular highlights of our
school year is the annual School Sports Day. The 2001 School Sports Day was
once again held in Term
1 and was well attended by a large group of parents, friends and
ex-students.
Students enjoyed the friendly rivalry
between the four School Houses, Chandler,
Mason, Nicolle
and Shepherd. This
rivalry has existed ever since the
house system was first introduced in 1978.

Our Sports Day is
conducted on a participation basis with all children
encouraged to take part in all events, except the Championship
Sprints and Team Relays. These events are contested by the
fastest runners from each year level. |
|
|
|
Although the main
emphasis is on enjoyment, improving personal performances, skill
development, fitness and participation by all, the Primary section
of the school (Year 3-7) competes in a House competition. All
children contribute points to their House for each event in which
they participate. |
|
|
This year, the
school employed TriSkills for The Junior
Primary activities (R-Yr2). The feedback from staff,
students and parents was very positive. The activities were based on
skill development, enjoyment and participation by all.
Nevertheless,
the students were very keen to succeed and they tried very hard to
achieve their best.
