We now look forwards, with the beginning of our winter sports programs in full swing. Whilst the new sports precinct development has required some modifications to some programming, we are delighted that we're able to offer more trainings than we initially thought would be possible. Basketball, netball and football competitions have commenced, along with cross country and Auskick, with the soccer competition and R-2 tennis development to begin in week four of this term.

Our major point of sports communications to families is via the Stack Team app, also accesible via laptop or desktop computer to enable famillies to print fixtures and maps as needed. This is where you will receive direct notifications to your mobile alerting you to any change to training or matches, and when fixtures have been updated.

If your child becomes unavailable for a training session or match within 48 hours of that event, we request that you notify coaches directly. In instances of advance notice of unavailability, please also notify me (Jeff Wray) in case replacements need to be sought, or rosters adjusted.

On Monday 10 May our College had nine students compete at the SAPSASA Swimming Championships, representing our district: City South. Also, special mention goes to Jensen Marold and Ethan Bailey who, in week one of the term, competed in the SAPSASA Mountain Bike Championships (team event) and took out first place. Congratulations to all our SAPSASA competitors.

Families of students in the Primary Cross Country Team will by now have received information about our new initiative RunUpAus.

RunUpAus is a team challenge created to encourage further training outside of scheduled sessions, and will track distances run by team members throughout Terms 2 and 3. The aim will be for the team to notch up approximately 3,000km, the distance from Adelaide to Darwin.

People interested in the team's progress will find our virtual position on the map in the Junior School Gym.
