Ride2School Day 2023 

Next Friday the 26th of March our school will be participating in Ride2School Day. It is a nationwide program that encourages students to get physically active on their journey to school. Students can walk, scoot, ride or skateboard to school. It would be wonderful to have family members join their child on the journey to school. For students who travel to school by bus, they will have the opportunity to participate in some active games before school begins. It should be a great morning and I will post more information on DOJO next week.  

Cross Country 

Our next big school sporting event will be the school Cross Country which will take place next term on Friday the 28th of April. All students will participate in long distance running events which will be held at Morison Street Ovals. We started our Fitness Unit last week which aims to support students in preparing for cross country. I will be in need of parent helpers on the day, so if you are able to help please send me a DOJO message. I will post more information closer to the event.
