Ball Games
This important school event will occured on the 6th of September. What a great day it was. Full of fun, colour and fantastic inter class competition. Unfortunately some classes were more successful than others in dressing for and competing at the event. A big thank you to all the parents who came along to enjoy the colour, creativity and sporting prowess on show during our only class based sporting event. Thank you so much to the teachers for giving up class time to practice, organise and produce amazing outfits. Congratulations to all on a fantastic spectacle.

Sessions will be held on Mondays, from 3:15 to 3:45 and Wednesdays from 7:45 to 8:15 with Mr Bateman. Mr Sutherland will be holding his sessions on Fridays from 7:45 to 8:15.

Yeronga State School (YSS) District Trial Selection (Years 4 to 6)
The representative pathway for school sport is for students aged 10 to 12 years. Yeronga is part of a very strong district which consists of 28 schools (Eastern Taipans District).
In most sports we are encouraged to send only 2 students from the school that demonstrate a very high level of ability. The majority of these teams are under 12 teams. A good guide for this is:
- A representative club player
- A top performer in your sport outside of school
- Playing in higher age groups
- Consistently demonstrating outstanding performances in interschool sport fixtures and training sessions in the highest division.
In order to be considered to attend a District Trial students should make themselves known to either (Mr Bateman or Mr Curness) at least 2 weeks prior to the trials.
