The Belconnen Region Athletics Carnival is on the 15 August at the AIS. All students received a parent note on Monday and consent is required via Compass. The event schedule will be made available on Compass when we receive it. Congratulations to the 37 students who will represent our school. We wish you all the best for your events.  

The cost is $10. Payment information will be sent on 10 August. Please do not pay prior to this date. 

This term our students will have the opportunity to have 4 weeks of tennis lessons with GetSet Tennis. K-2 lesson will be held at school on Tuesday and students in Years 3-6 will have lesson at the Kaleen tennis courts on Thursday. The program  commenced this week.  

The clinics are possible due to our successful Sporting School grant. 

Last week we had a special guest visit St Michael’s - Canberra Capitals basketball pro and Physical Activity Foundation CEO, Lucille Bailie. Lucille spoke to us about Game On, local community based, free physical activity “pop up” sessions in Kaleen. You will have noticed some signs appearing around Kaleen about free games opportunities for families. The aim of the events is to promote physical activity for children through providing fun, accessible sessions and ideas for children and their families. Lucille reminded our students that children need 60 minutes of exercise per day to keep healthy. I encourage families to get involved in these events.
