Recent Sporting Events
Congratulations to all St Matthew’s students who participated in the 5/6 Futsal Gala Day. It was a great day for all who attended. Well done to all students as you showed cooperation and healthy competitiveness.
Well done to our student representatives who participated in the Belconnen District Carnival.
School Cross Country
The Years 3-6 Cross Country Carnival will be held at Stromlo Forest Park on Tuesday, 7 May, Week 2 of Term 2. The students will be transported to the track in the morning and return after the races. The event timetable will be published in next week's newsletter.
The K-2 Cross Country Carnival will be held on Friday, May 24th, on the school ovals. Further details will be distributed prior to this day.
Compass Events have been created for both carnivals to assist with organising the day. These will be distributed tomorrow. If you can attend and assist with any jobs for the day, please answer the questions on Compass and/or email them directly to me at dillon.payne@cg.catholic.edu.au.
Please disregard the first Compass Event email about this event earlier this week; unfortunately, we published the wrong date. I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
Thank You!
I would like to thank all the parents who have offered their help and guidance over the first term. Carnivals and Gala Days would honestly not be possible to organise and run without parent helpers.
