Boorowa Touch and Netball Carnival

We are proceeding with our plans to again enter teams in this year’s Boorowa touch and netball carnival. It is fantastic day that sees over 4500 students from country and city schools both government and public come to support the town of Boorowa and the wider community. Last week, interested students met with Mrs Hardwicke to find out a little more about the day.  If you would like your child to participate please return the permission note via Compass. We will enter teams based on the responses we receive via Compass and ask that you respond by no later than Friday 11^th August. Once we have confirmed our numbers we will send teams lists home.

Please note that on some occasions we are unable to enter teams due to not having a sufficient number of players. It is a requirement of the organisers that each team is able to provide a coach, umpire/referee and manager. We are dependent on parent volunteers for these roles, so if you are able to help please let us know by answering the questions on the Compass form. We greatly appreciate your support, but it is even more greatly appreciated by our students.

Parents need to arrange their own transport/car pooling to and from Boorowa. It is 1.5-2hr drive from Canberra.

Belconnen Region Athletics Carnival

The Belconnen Region Athletics Carnival is on the 15 August at the AIS. All students have received a parent note and consent is required via Compass by this Friday, 4 August. 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. 

Our students are enjoying the tennis lessons with GetSet Tennis. 

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

Today is the last day to join in Game On, a local community based, free physical activity “pop up” sessions in Kaleen. The aim of the event is to promote physical activity for children through providing fun, accessible sessions and ideas for children and their families.

We are delighted to welcome author Leonie Pye who will visit us on Wednesday 23 August as part of our Book Week celebrations. Leonie is a Canberra author of two books, 'The Little Shell' and 'The Broken Shell'.
