SPORTS NEWS

School Sport Newsletter: Thursday 5th August

School Sport Victoria - Announcement

Currently, all interschool sport events and competitions are back up and running again. This is great news for all school communities. The resumption of any interschool sport was made on the advice from the Department of Health and that it is considered safe to do so. Parents are able to access the SSV website for the status of all events held in Victoria at www.ssv.vic.edu.au  Unfortunately spectators are unable to attend any current inter school sport competitions. 

Winter Round Robin SSV Competition - (Monday 9th August)

Next Monday the 9th of August St Gabriels mixed football team and Girls Soccer team will play in the Divisional Winter Round Competition in Traralgon. The winner of this competition will proceed to play in the Regional competition on Wednesday 25th August. I would like to thank Mr Adams for training the football team and Mrs Colantouno for coaching the girls soccer team. School Sports Victoria has stated to all schools although inter school sport competition is up and running again there are restrictions on who is able to attend these events. On Monday only the players, teaching staff and volunteers who are assisting on the day eg: coaches or referees. Unfortunately no parents can attend the event as a spectator on the day. Each team has to enter the names of the students and staff attending on the day and give this to the event coordinator. 

State Cross Country Championship - (Postponed) 

The following students Sierra Colantuono and Dempsey Podmore from grade 5 have made it through to compete in the State Cross Country Championships to be held at the Yarra Valley Racing Club. This event was scheduled for today, Thursday 5th of August but has been postponed due to COVID restrictions. At the Regional Championships at Warragul Sierra finished in 3rd place in the U/11 age group whilst Dempsey Podmore also in the u/11 age group finished in 2nd place . All of our nine students who competed on the day can hold their heads up high as they showed great sportsmanship and determination on the day 

Jump Rope for Heart - (Fund raising Activity)

Tomorrow all the students will receive a pamphlet detailing our school taking part in the Jump Rope for Heart skipping and fundraising program. The aim of the program is to get students physically active, whilst learning about the importance of healthy behaviours to look after their health and at the same time, they’ll give back to the community by raising funds to help save Australian hearts. All you have to do is register your child online at jumprope.org.au/parents. Then share your child’s page with friends and family and ask them to donate and finally log your child's skipping activity so they can earn prizes and virtual badges. The school will have a special skipping event at school during the week of Monday 16th August to- Friday 20th August.  More details about this skipping event will be sent home via SeeSaw next week. If you have any concerns with this information please email me at dhogan@stgtraralgon.catholic.edu.au 

Green & Gold Day

What a great day we had at St Gabriel’s dressed in our green and gold uniform . I would like to thank all the students for creating a great team atmosphere at school . The Olympics have given all of us a great focus and a positive mindset in these uncertain times of COVID. I would like to thank Mrs DiCorleto who initiated this activity for the school and I would like to thank Miss Kindellan for putting together an inspirational video clip of the day for everyone to see at the school assembly via the zoom meeting.
