Term 2 is always a big term for sport and this year has been no exception. Most of the Term 2 sports are continuing through into Term 3.

However for years 0-4  Sports Time is offering after school sessions to take place on a Thursday in Term 3. These sessions go for an eight week period (from 2nd August to 20th September) and give children a taster of a number of different sports.  For Term 3,  Athletics, Basketball, Dodgeball and Hockey will each be a focus for a session and Football and Rippa Rugby will be a focus for two sessions.  

The cost is $75 and registrations are now open on kindo.   Registrations close on the 25th July.   If you would prefer to register/pay manually, hard copy registration forms are available at the office.  For Sports, Kindo is a great way of registering and for most registrations it is a smooth process, however please note that administrators are not aware of your registration unless payment is made - it works just like online shopping in that if the item is still in your cart without being paid, it hasn't been processed.  

A flyer will be sent home later in the week with some information for Sports Time.  

Later in Term 3 information will be distributed for what options are available for Term 4.

The programme is based around having fun. During each session your child will go around different work stations learning hockey skills in a fun interactive way.
