Sports Day

Dear Parents,Sports Day will occur this coming Tuesday. It is a wonderful morning usually enjoyed by all but can be tiring for our young students. In order to help us make it a great day you can do the following.
*Wear your child’s house colour to support their team
*Participate in the parent races, parluff relay and circle games with your child (so don’t forget your sport shoes!)
*Encourage the children to stay with their teacher
*Please do not feed your child during sports day. We do go back to the Kindergarten during the morning to have a drink and a snack but do not encourage children to eat on the oval because of the high potential for choking accidents. It should be noted that the P&F cake staff will be open for your refreshments and will not be for kindergarten students during the course of the morning
The day will begin at 9.00 am Please ensure that you are at the ELC by 8.45am and have dropped your child off and signed them in as normal. Please move to the gym and wait for us there if you would like to watch sports day.
