Congratulations Mr C and Hayley

For those who don’t know our own Mr Curness and Hayley G coached and participated in the Qld Touch Carnival at Longreach almost 2 weeks ago and went very well. Mr C as Coach and Hayley as one of his players won the carnival. Well done to both of them. Not too many people achieve a state championship.

Ball Games

The Ball Games Carnival is beginning to loom large. I will have more information in the next issue as to timing, but names are probably being thought of at the moment with costumes about to be considered.

Rebel Sport Community Kickbacks

Just a quick note to publicise our involvement with this scheme and how it works. For some time now Yeronga State School has been part of the above mentioned scheme. The scheme gives the school credit for purchases of equipment at Rebel as anyone who purchases equipment nominates Yeronga State School as the recipient of Community Kickbacks. I have purchased cricket equipment, Footballs and Netballs with this credit. It is an easy way to contribute resources to our school especially if you enjoy spending time and money in sports stores like myself.

Gala Days

The remaining dates for these very important days in Term 3 are 23 August and 6 September. Children should be well and truly committed to training by now as the first gala day is next Friday.

New District and Regional Representatives

Extra congratulations to Willow H, Joshua S and Maggie S who were selected in her second regional team; for 1500m and discus in Athletics.

Congratulations to Mia G who was selected to attend the Girls State Cricket Carnival as part of the Met West Regional Team, but has, alas, had to surrender her place due to other commitments. She is our resident Elyse Perry.
