Welcome to Sport 2021. Plans are in place for school and interschool Sport to go ahead 'mostly' as it did pre-COVID.....fingers crossed ?

For this to occur, there will be many COVID precautions required to be put in place to safely participate. This is something we are getting very used to and it will be a case of 'watch this space' if the COVID situation changes.

The first event for the year will be the school Swimming Carnival next Wednesday 10th February, at the Cootamundra Town Pool. A note will go home with students this week with the details.

We are looking for parent assistance for timekeeping on the day. The time slots are 9-12 or 12-2:30. If you are able to assist, please email megan.withers@cg.catholic.edu.au or wendy.vankerkoerle@cg.catholic.edu.au. Thank you in advance.

See below for specific Primary and Secondary dates.

Primary Sport

Please note that Primary students (Years 3-6) will be swimming on a Thursday for Sport in Weeks 4, 5 and 6. Week 5 is also the Triathlon. A note will go home with students detailing further information. 

Secondary Sport

A note went home on the first day, outlining the dates booked for likely PE and Sport sessions at the pool. As with the nature of schools, these dates may need to change. Students will be notified of these changes via their ‘PDHPE’ and ‘Sport at SHC’ google classrooms and on their respective google calendars. Please read the note carefully and return the note to the front office as soon as possible. The $30 was an approximate cost for all pool visits for the term. You do not need to pay $30 up front. Students can pay as they go on the day they go.

A note will go home this week for any students seeking more information regarding the representative sport pathways on offer this year. Please return these by Friday 5th February. Some nominations for sports are due very soon.

For further information, see Ms Withers or go to the CSNSW Sport website and/or the Canberra Goulburn Sport nominations page via the links above.

For school teams to go away to gala days and competitions, students must return their note and money by the due date to be eligible to attend the excursion.

As always, if you are concerned about anything to do with PE or Sport, please arrange a meeting or get in contact with me so we can work out a solution. We want everyone to be involved in all aspects of school life, to the best of their ability and feel good about their experience.

I can be contacted at megan.withers@cg.catholic.edu.au or on 02 69422612 during school hours. 

Looking forward to an action packed year of sport!
