District Cricket Nominations

Nominations for District Cricket will be made next week at first break on Tuesday 27 May. Any children who wish to trial should come to the nets with their kit. Remember that we can only nominate 3 to attend the district trial.

District Cross Country Squad Qualifiers

Finally it is unfortunate that not all of our wonderful runners can be selected in the district team. We were fortunate to have 7 selected though. Congratulations to Milana S, Jonah S, Harry G, Lennox Mc, Ruby B, Xavier T & Hudson M. These runners will compete in the regional cross country on 28 May. We all wish them good luck for that race. 

Congratulations to Our New District Representatives

Congratulations to Jackson C for being selected for the Eastern Taipans 10 – 12 Boys Rugby team.

Congratulations to Finley C and Harry G for being selected for the Eastern Taipans 10 – 12 Boys Touch team.

Running Club

Running club will continue until the end of Term 4 on Mondays and Tuesdays, with Mr Bateman. The sessions will take place unless the weather makes it impossible to run safely. Sessions will be held on Mondays, from 3:15 to 3:45 and Tuesdays from 7:45 to 8:15 with Mr Bateman. Mr Sutherland will hold his sessions on Fridays from 7:45 to 8:15. Remember that all of these sessions will occur on the main, or years 3-6 oval. Parents are most welcome to participate.

Football Goals

Please remember, that although these goals are metal, they are not built to be climbed upon. Please do not climb on them as you will be endangering yourself, damaging the goals and be the unhappy recipient of a white slip.

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.
