Winter Walk to School Day - 11 August 2023
Tomorrow is our Winter Walk to School Day. It is an initiative supported by the government to encourage both students and their parents to be more active and healthy in their daily commute to school and work.
St Jude’s will be participating with a whole school walk and ride to school morning. We will have teachers stationed from 8:10am at the locations marked on the map. They will wait and meet students and parents and depart those locations by 8:20am to walk and ride along the marked routes to school.
At school, the groups will be met with some great tunes pumping, a fruit station and a raffle ticket to go in the draw for some prizes at the end of the day.
It’s going to be a great morning and we look forward to seeing as many people as possible getting involved in the action.
South Weston Athletics Carnival
The South Weston Athletics Carnival will be held next Thursday 17 August at Woden Park, Phillip. Students who have qualified to represent St Jude's at this carnival have received a note, containing the details of the carnival as well as a permission note which needs to be returned to the school office with $10 payment. If notes are not returned by tomorrow, Friday 11 August. Parents will need to provide transport for their child to and from Woden Park. Parents are very welcome to come along on the day and watch, but must not enter the track or field event arenas at any stage during the day. Mrs Henderson will be the St Jude's teacher present at the carnival. Please let me know if your child will not be participating.
Futsal School Cup
In my absence last week, I wanted to acknowledge the wonderful parental support from Ron N and Luke P for coaching the St Jude's School Cup Futsal teams last Tuesday. Your support is very much appreciated. The teams had a fantastic day winning many games and scoring lots of goals. Our girls team came away winners on the day. Our boys team was not too far behind. Go St Jude's! Thanks also to parents for transporting your child 'across town' for the early start.
Touch Football Gala Day
ACT Touch are running a Touch Football Gala Day for Year 5/6 students on Monday 28 August at Deakin Ovals. Notes or COMPASS notification will be coming home Monday for any interested students. There is no limit on team numbers from each school for this event. It is a gala day with emphasis on fun and trying a new sport rather than competition. Teams will be made on this premise. It is open to girls and boys. I am keeping my eyes open for a similiar event for Year 3 and 4.
Gymnastics
Gymnastics lessons have commenced for all classes, with the students enjoying the activities and the challenges they bring. Please make sure your child is in sports uniform on their gymnastics day to enable them to participate comfortably.
