Athletics Carnival Program
The program for the Athletics Carnival scheduled for Wednesday 31 March is now available for viewing here. Please note the 1500m event is an open event but I would suggest only those students who can comfortably handle that distance along with their other events on the day should run in this event.
All other track events, as well as discus and turbo javelin, can be entered by students on the day.
Cross Country Carnival Preparation
A reminder that an information pack was emailed to all families last week outlining the selection criteria for the Carnival in Term 2. Please familiarise yourselves with this information and how the two courses on Cross Country are split.
Yrs 5 and 6 AFL
Currently, we are short on players to submit a team for our boys AFL side coming into our winter sports season which begins on Wednesday 24 March. If your son is keen to give AFL a go this year for his rep winter sport, we would happily welcome him in and adjust his previously nominated sport. Please view this video of encouragement from Tim Taranto, a midfielder from GWS Giants. He is a very talented young player, runs a 15.9 beep test and recently won the Kevin Sheedy Medal as Club Champion. Please email me if you would like to make this change.
Girls AFL commences on the same date but their matches begin in Term 3 and so are only training this term.
HICES Swimming
On Tuesday, the Redlands Junior Swimming team headed out to Homebush to compete at the HICES Carnival. At this meet, Redlands compete against the other schools in our association in what is a selection carnival for the next level, CIS. All swimmers must be congratulated for their efforts on the day and special thanks to the many parents who joined us in the stands.
