In Week 1 this Term, students born in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 were offered the opportunity to try out for a spot in our school SAPSASA Swimming team. The carnival is to be held in Week 4 on Wednesday 21st February at Strathalbyn Swimming Centre.
Our school participates in a wide range of SAPSASA events throughout the year. As part of Trina’s and Kate’s P.E. roles they train and select students to represent the school at these events. SAPSASA is aimed mainly at Year 6 and 7 students but there will be opportunities for Year 4 and 5 students to participate in some sports. The events we anticipate competing in this year are:
When information on these events is available we will put notices in the Newsletter and send notes home with the students who are interested.
SAPSASA photo displays will be put up on the gym windows so feel free to come and have a look after events at some of the photos taken.
There also will be opportunities for students to try out for the Southern Fleurieu District Association teams in various sports and also for Sapsasa State teams. Again, when this information becomes available to us we will inform all eligible via the newsletter and notices home. This year the District Sapsasa convenor will also be posting information on the SOUTHERN FLEURIEU FACEBOOK PAGE and the SOUTHERN FLEURIEU LINK ON THE SAPSASA WEBSITE (www.decd.sa.gov.au/teaching/sport)
Sapsasa State Teams Selections
Interested students wanting to trial for State teams need to refer to the Sapsasa website (www.decd.sa.gov.au/teaching/sport) to access all trial information and nomination forms.
If you wish to trial for a team, an online nomination must be completed and submitted by the due date for each sport. Information for each sport is available by clicking on List of Sports, then the sport you are interested in nominating for. (A separate nomination form is required for each sport).

On Thursday 9th November Claude the Crow, Brooke and Nigel visited us to present to the whole school the Crows Growing With Gratitude program. The students enjoyed the entertaining presentation which speaks to the children all about positive education, well-being and positive mind sets. All the students received a few prizes as well as an activity booklet. If families wish to access this resource library please visit: www.growingwith gratitude.com.au/store/
On Tuesday 14th November the girls’ team who won our local T20 Cricket bash at Goolwa, represented our District playing 5 games of T20 Cricket at Adelaide Oval. The girls tried their hardest, had fun and enjoyed the opportunity to play cricket on the Adelaide Oval. Unfortunately, we did not win the day but we had a great time, and I am sure the girls are grateful for the experience that many can only dream about. Thanks to Natarsha for volunteering to supervise the team at Goolwa and at Adelaide Oval. Thanks also to all the family members who came and cheered us on.
Congratulations to Hamish and Ken who have been selected to represent the Southern Fleurieu Sapasasa Region in Boys Cricket, and to Obe who will also be representing the Region in Tennis. They will participate in a week long carnival in Week 6. We wish them all a fantastic, enjoyable experience.
Further Kindy activities were run in Week 3 by some Year 6 students. The students ran, with Trina’s support, small PE skills sessions for our neighbouring Kindergarten students. Congratulations to the Year 6 students who ran this program. They were all very organised and treated the younger students with respect and understanding. They all did a fantastic job. The kindergarten students had a great time and learnt lots from them. Well done to all involved. It is anticipated that this program will run in Term 2 and 3 next year, twice a term.
The MILO T20 Blast School Cup for Year 6/7’s was held at Goolwa Oval on Tuesday 31st October. We had 4 teams participate, 1 boys team and 3 girls teams. Thank you to Tyann, Natarsha, Jed, Jayde and Shane who supervised a team on the day. The students had a great day playing and learning a lot about cricket. The boys team finished 5th for the day, which is a fantastic result. The girls teams finished 1st and the other 2 teams drew 3rd. This is a fabulous achievement and testament to the amount of time these teams put in to practice during their break times. The girls team who finished first have now been invited to compete in the State Carnival at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday November 14th. We wish the girls all the best and an enjoyable experience.
