Sport: Junior School, Term 3 Week 1 2026
Welcome back to Term 3! I hope all students and families enjoyed a relaxing and refreshing mid-year break and are feeling re-energised for another exciting term of Junior School Sport. This term promises plenty of opportunities for students to develop their skills, challenge themselves, represent the school with pride and, most importantly, enjoy being active alongside their teammates.
Uniform guide:
Please refer to the Junior School cocurricular sport uniform guide for information about the 2026 uniform requirements for co-curricular sport. Please ensure your child has the correct uniform for their chosen sport(s).
Student collection:
To ensure all students are safe and accounted for at the conclusion of each training session, please collect students from the designated areas rather than their actual training location.
Year 1 and 2: Kurrajong play yard at 4.45pm

If you do need to collect your child directly from a training session, please communicate this with me prior to the training.
