Congratulations to our 36 athletes who delivered an outstanding performance at the Northern Eagles District Track & Field Trials held at QSAC last week. Their dedication and effort were truly impressive, and they represented our school with pride and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

We will notify the students selected to represent the Northern Eagles Team at the upcoming regional trials as soon as official confirmation is received from the district.

Sports for Years 5 and 6 students will commence on Friday Week 5 (15th August) for a duration of 4 weeks (Weeks 5, 6, 7, and 9) this term.

Sport allocations have already been made. If your child is unable to participate in this season due to injury or medical condition, please inform our PE team as soon as possible, as invoices to parents will be released soon.

The interschool sports this term are:

• Basketball (Boys) – UQ Basketball Courts
• Netball (mixed) – WDNA
• Dodgeball (mixed) – Toowong SS and Corinda SS
• Flippaball (mixed) – Graceville, Ironside and Sherwood Pools
• Touch Football (Girls) – Graceville Junior Rugby League Club
• Tennis Participation (mixed) – ISS Tennis Courts
• Table Tennis (mixed) – ISS Hall
• School Based Sport (mixed) – Moore Park

Students benefit from training in their sports prior to competing against students from other schools. To make this happen, we are asking for some parent volunteers to assist and provide training for the students for a range of sports - days and times can be negotiated to suit our volunteer’s schedules.

Please contact our PE team if you have some experience in any of the sports mentioned above and can help our students get some training at school.

The Prep to Year 2 Cross Country will be held in Week 6 this term on Monday 18th August from 9am-10:30am. The focus of the carnival is participation. We encourage students to wear a shirt in their house colour:

Family members are welcome to attend. We will share more information about the Prep to Year 2 Cross Country in the next newsletter.
