Volunteer Needed to Assist at Belconnen Region Swimming Carnival

We are looking for a volunteer to assist at the Belconnen Region Swimming Carnival on Tuesday 28th March at the AIS. Each school in the Belconnen region is required to provide a volunteer to help out on the day as the carnivals cannot be run without assistance. If there is anyone over the age of 16 years who is able to help out on the day please get in touch. It would be a great opportunity for senior students to do some of their community service hours!

Save the Date – St Michael’s Cross Country Carnival

Our carnival will be held next term on Tuesday 2nd May (Week 2). If you are able to assist as a course marshal we would be very grateful. Volunteers would be required for approximately 2hrs from 9-11am. Please contact Erin Hardwicke or Lynda Logan if you are able to assist.

AFL Gala Day – Paul Kelly Cup

We would like to enter a 5/6 team into this year's Paul Kelly Cup held on Tuesday 9th May. We are a few players short,  so if your child is interested in playing please ask them to let me know. The day is aimed at increasing participation and having fun. The contact is limited to modified tackling (bear hug between shoulders and knees). 

Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge

It is great to see so many of our students who are already off to a flying start with the challenge for this year! Every completed Challenge Record Form can be placed in the barrel in the library, ready for the prize draw when the challenge concludes. Keep up the great reading!!

Covering New Books

If you are able to help out with covering new books please get in touch. I am happy to show you how it is done and your contribution means we can get our new books onto the shelves quicker and into the hands of eager readers.

SCHOOL SPORT ACT TRIALS – Please keep an eye on the School Sport ACT website www.schoolsportact.asn.au for upcoming ACT trials. The process for registering can be found below. If you need any assistance registering your child please feel free to ask for assistance.

How to register your child with School Sport ACT

School Sport ACT now collects all registration information online – this is to prevent the movement to and fro of a paper note and have all information readily available to officials prior to the trial. As this process incurs a fee for data storage, system maintenance and admin, a small $5 fee payment via credit card will be required.

  1. Go to the School Sport ACT website – www.schoolsportact.asn.au
  2. Click Register (top right corner of homepage) for an Account – enter parent details and password
  3. A confirmation email will be sent to your chosen email that will contain a link that you must click on to verify the email account.
  4. Click Log In (top right hand corner of home page) enter password then click on top tab My Profile
  5. You will see a ‘dashboard’ of your information, click green box to Add Student – enter student and medical details and save.
  6. Go to the Sports Tab – choose your specific sport, click on Trial Information box then click on the Register to Trial link.
  7. Select your child’s name from the dropdown box and then enter the optional fields for Playing History, Preferred Position (if applicable) and Representative Experience. If you are already in the system, ensure your child’s school is up to date in your profile – have they moved onto High School?

Please contact me via email if you have any questions, feedback or are able to offer your assistance at any of our sporting events throughout the year.
