Soccer Carnival

Thank you to all the parents who have Opted In to this event. We have had an overwhelming response with 144 students attending. We will be sending four Year 1/2  teams, five Year 3/4 teams and six Year 5/6 teams. Teams are being finalised and will be sent out via Compass on Monday. The draw will be sent out as soon as available.

Thank you to the 7 parents that have offered to help manage a team - this means we now have 8 teams without any managers. I am unable to assign staff to teams as they are required for supervision. We really need your help!!! You do not need any experience in soccer - you will be just managing the team to ensure they are on the field at the right time and subbing players on and off. It is lots of fun and the staff will be there to help!!!! Please email me if you can help. leonne.challen@cg.catholic.edu.au

Some reminders:

• Students are to wear their sports uniform and must have shin pads to play.
• Students are to be dropped at Gus Smith Oval from 8.30 onwards. Due to starting times there will be no bus from school in the morning. 
• Students may be collected by parents at the conclusion of their games. All remaining students will be bused back to school for normal school departures.
• There will be a canteen and sausage sizzle available at Gus Smith Oval.
• The Year 5/6 students will play at Cranfield Oval and will be able to access the canteen at Gus Smith Oval during their breaks.
• Please ensure students have a hat, sunscreen and plenty of food and drinks for the day.

A big thank you to the Community Council for organising the canteen, Paul Cameron for setting up an organising the draw and Brendan Croese for assisting us with referees for the day. We are so grateful for your generosity and support!
