Junior Athletics Day: 25 June ( 9- 11 )

Parents are very welcome to watch the sessions. Bring along your picnic rug or folding chair. Please be aware that all students need to be with their class teachers during the activities. They will need to bring along their snack, drink bottle and hat to the activities. Sunscreen should be applied before coming to school.

After roll call all classes are to assemble under the shelters next to the top oval (at the “Big School”) at 9:00am. We will complete activities at approximately 11am so the lunchbreak should run as usual. Tuckshop may be ordered using the normal system and it will not be open to sell food during the sports activity sessions. Each rotation (2 activities of 15mins) will run for approximately 30 minutes with a 5 minute change over.

Please note students will participate in their classes not age group.  The day is one of participation in, and enjoyment of physical activity and our endeavour is to ensure all children achieve this.  Many of the activities will provide the students with an insight to what skills they will need when they enter the Senior Sports Day in years to come. We hope you can join the children on the day.

Yeronga A Division Football (Soccer)

Last Friday the Junior A Division Boys Football team were involved in two very entertaining and challenging games. The day was a little different to normal with each game comprising of 25 minute thirds. The key matchup of the day was always going to be the game between Yeronga and Sunnybank Hills as both teams were undefeated. The game certainly provided many memorial moments. Heading into the final third Team Yeronga was down 3 -1. During the final 25 minutes the boys produced some of the most amazing team work and demonstrated remarkable determination to finish the game 4-3 winners. Well done boys on a truly outstanding season.

Results:

Yeronga v Stretton 8-1

Yeronga v Sunnybank Hills 4-3
