Last Thursday, Madison T 6 Green travelled to the Illawarra Sports Stadium in Berkeley to trial for the 2024 Wollongong Diocesen Primary School Netball Team. After a busy day that involved 6 rounds of netball, Madison was selected to be a part of the Wollongong Diocese Primary School Netball Team for the 2024 MacKillop Trials to be held on May 10 in Lyneham, ACT. Congratulations Madison T. on this wonderful achievement!

Cross Country Week 8

Next Friday the 22 of March students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be participating in the 2024 Cross Country carnival at Eschol Park Soccer Fields. Parents are to drop students to school as per the normal school starting time of 8.25am. The students will walk in grade groups with their classroom teachers down to and from Eschol Park Soccer Fields to compete in their race using the timetable below.

Students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will take part in a race covering approximately 800m to 1km. Students in Year 2 to 6 will participate in the 2km race. They will be grouped by gender and age, according to their age as of this year. The top three finishers in each race will have the honour of representing our school at the Diocesean Cross Country Championship in Nowra, scheduled for Tuesday 7 May.

Students are to wear full sport uniforms, including their hat and sneakers. Students are able to wear a shirt of their House Colour. Pack student's bags as per a normal school day. Please ensure your child has ample amounts of water, sunscreen and an asthma puffer (if necessary). 

As race times are staggered, students will have their lunch 1 at a time most appropriate to them. All students should be back at school for a regular lunch 2. The canteen at the sporting ground will be closed during the event. Assembly will take place at the normal time of 1.45pm at the basketball courts.

If you would like to volunteer as a marshall for the event please nominate on your Compass alert or contact Ms Beckman.

Sports Gala Day Preferences

Soon a Compass alert will be sent to parents to gather preferences regarding student participation in the upcoming Gala Days for 2024. Your input will help us plan accordingly, although please understand that due to limited capacity, we may not be able to accommodate all first preferences. This year Mary Immaculate will be participating in the Netball, Soccer, Basketball and Cricket (Year 5 and 6) Gala Days. 

Before submitting your child's preferences, please take note of the following:

  1. Transport Responsibility: Students are responsible for arranging their transportation to and from the Gala Days.

  2. Non-Competitive Nature: Gala Days are non-competitive events designed to foster enjoyment and participation in sports. They offer a unique opportunity for students to engage in sports they might not typically encounter, all the while having a blast with their friends.

  3. Behavioural Consideration: It's essential to highlight that student behaviour will play a role in team selection. In instances of poor behaviour, students may be exempt from participating in Gala Days.

  4. Parental Involvement: We may need parental volunteers to assist with coaching on the day of the event. As the date approaches, we may reach out for your support in this regard.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in making our Gala Days a memorable experience for all involved.
