As we begin 2023 with all of our students in classrooms and all events on the calendar, we are excited to be able to hold house meetings and prepare for the upcoming carnivals.
GHS Swimming Carnival – Wednesday 15th Feb
Buses will drop students at the Gladstone Pool for a full-day carnival, allowing us to include Cup events, non-cup events, a range of inclusive novelty events, some free time and maybe even staff and parents in the pool!
Notes will be sent home seeking parent/family/community support for timing, canteen and BBQ. We appreciate any help you can offer throughout the day.
Please ensure that your child’s General Consent Booklet has been returned to school, as these contain the aquatics consent forms.
MNSEC Swimming and SSSA Swimming Carnivals
The MNSEC Carnival will be held on Tuesday, Feb 21 (location to be confirmed) for students selected to represent GHS. Following this, the MNSEC team will compete in the SSSA carnival in Adelaide on March 1.
GHS Athletics Carnival
Held on Friday, March 10 on the school oval, all of our PE classes are starting their practice for the full range of events! The timetable for the day will be designed to encourage participation with long-distance events being held in the week prior to the carnival.
MNSEC Athletics and SSSA Athletics Carnivals
A team will be selected to represent GHS at the MNSEC carnival at Jamestown Community School and, from there, a MNSEC team to compete in the Adelaide Carnival.
Knockout and MNSEC Sports
Processes will take place throughout the year for students to nominate for a range of knockout/statewide sports carnivals (including cricket, tennis, basketball, netball and football). GHS will also attend MNSEC sports events to give students in Years 7-10 opportunities to compete in the sports they cover as part of our PE curriculum.
All of these events will include opportunities for students to be involved in many ways and are positive ways for families and community members to engage with our schools and we look forward to sharing them with you!
Please keep an eye out for consent forms on Sentral and information notes over the coming weeks!
