Junior Sport
Due to the success and participation numbers of the representative sport training sessions offered last Saturday, I am pleased to announce that we will continue to offer optional on-campus training opportunities for Junior School students on Saturday 13 June and again on Saturday 20 June.
Please note: There is no Sport this Saturday 7 June as it is the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend.
Those students who have not elected to play a representative sport this season will participate in their return to sport sessions on Wednesday 10 and 17 June during school hours. These sessions are in addition to any other specialist lesson including PE lessons that they may have scheduled on Wednesday.
If you would like your child to participate in the Saturday Representative Sport sessions, please refer to the email that was sent to all Junior School families on 1 June. The attached note that accompanies this email has details and how to register. You have the option of selecting attendance for one of the Saturdays or both if you prefer.
This information has also been advertised on Redlands Pulse.
Redlands Pulse
As it has been some time that you may have had the need to visit the Junior School Sport page on Redlands Pulse, it may be worth a visit in the coming weeks. It continues to be the ‘source of truth’ for all information relating to Junior School Sport.
As advertised last week there are a number of documents or information booklets that have been uploaded that will assist you over the course of the year relating to all things sport. These can be found here.
I am asking that if parents have an enquiry relating to sport that your first port of call will be the Junior School Sport section of Redlands Pulse.
Wednesday Sport Skills Sessions
Up until the end of Term 2 we will continue our model of Wednesday Sport where students remain on site and come out in their classes for various skills sessions. No sport specific equipment is needed by your child. Each class will have a 45 minute session to rebuild skills and fitness lost through the period of isolation. Students should continue to come to school in their Sports Uniform.
Term 3 Sport
With a return to Community Sport date in place for 1 July, IPSHA has informed schools that they have a high degree of confidence that IPSHA Saturday Sport will be able to resume from Week 1 in Term 3. For Redlands Junior School Sport, the sporting calendar will be updated over the weekend to reflect the possible recommencement of before and after school training, the extra subject program and Saturday matches.
Term 3 will hopefully also see the return to our normal Wednesday afternoon Sports program where students engage in various sports which they registered for last term.
