Running club will resume in Term 3 and continue until the end of term 4 unless the weather makes it impossible to run safely. Sessions will be held on Tuesdays, from 3:15 to 3:45, with Mr Landeck and Thursdays from 7:45 to 8:15 with Mr Bateman (week beginning: 16th May). 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.
Thank You to Mrs McGuire
A massive thank you to Mrs McGuire who not only taught all the PE lessons while I was away, but also eased me in on my return. She is a wonderful person to call on not only for her professionalism, but also for her dedication to our school. She always ensures our students have everything they need to succeed, which was a very tall order, even for Mrs McGuire, considering all of the rain that we had earlier in the term.
Thank You from Mr Bateman
Thank you for all of your kind comments during my recovery from surgery, that were passed on by Mrs McGuire, and following my return to work. It has been a longer journey than I expected to return to work, but your kind comments have made my return a great experience.
Representative Sport Dates Release (Important)
The trial dates for term one of 2022 are listed below.
District Sport and COVID
Yeronga State School (YSS) District Trial Selection Policy Special Consideration (Years 3 to 6)
The representative pathway for school sport is for children from 10 to 12 years of age. Yeronga is part of a very strong district which consists of 28 schools from Yeronga State School to the Calamvale area. In contact and skill team sports those aged 11 and 12 need to possess the advantages of size and speed, as well as skill on most occasions. Selectors will choose those with the skill and the resilience to compete at a higher level. Remember that selectors give up their time for these trials meaning that it is important for us to send only those ready to compete at a higher level. Very seldom is it appropriate to send students for experience. An indicator of readiness for participation at a higher level would be being among the best 3 or 4 players in most games for your club under 12 teams.
In order to be selected to attend a District Trial children should make themselves known to me (Mr Bateman) for either a selection trial with the appropriate teacher or so that they may be given the appropriate forms. Remember that children must give at least two weeks notice that they wish to attend a district trial to allow for a school selection trial to be held in the event of a great deal of interest being shown in a particular sport.
