Interschool Sport

On Tuesday this week, we had a meeting with all students in Years 5 and 6 about the upcoming season of interschool sport. The season is conducted in May-June. We will be nominating teams in Soccer, Touch Football, Netball and Rugby League. The cost is approximately $50 for the season. More information will be sent home in the comi ng weeks but you will start to see coaches and interested students training (as soon as the weather improves).

      
Tennis

Any students aged from 10-12 years of age this year (born 2011-2009) and are talented at tennis are encouraged to see Mr Raffin or Mr Burrows for information about the Broadwater District Tennis trials.

Tennis champion

Cruz is a budding tennis star and loves his sport.  He recently won the 2021 KDV Queensland Junior Clay Court Under 10’s Boys singles tournament.  Congratulations Cruz.  Something tells me that this will not be your last trophy.

Touch Football

Talented touch football players (aged between 10-12 years) are encouraged to come to the oval at second break on Monday where Mr Burrows and Mr Raffin will be conducting representative trials. In the event of wet weather, we may use the school hall.

Soccer

All talented soccer players (aged between 10-12 years) are encouraged to come to the oval at second break on Wednesday and Thursday where Mr Burrows and Mr Raffin will be conducting representative trials.

Wet Weather

The inclement weather has played havoc with school based sport and district trials this week. We do our best to keep all informed in a timely manner when things are cancelled or postponed. As soon as we get notification from conveners and the GC Council about ground closures, we will let students and parents know.

Broadwater Niftyball

Congratulations to the Kaysiyah, Maia and Ataahua who have been selected to represent the Broadwater District at the upcoming regional netball carnival. This is a very pleasing achievement.

Kokoda Training Session 2

Last Saturday saw 33 students and 9 staff members take on the Currumbin Border Track as part of our 2021 Kokoda training.  This year will see us enter 4 teams into the Gold Coast event, so while not all students will make the team, it's awesome to see so many interested students and parents joining us for some early morning training sessions.

There were audible groans as we approached the rocky hills but students were focusing on their 'self-talk' and encouraged each other for the 2 hour trek.  There was mud, rocks, slips and slides but this is what makes Kokoda training so much fun.  Thank you once again to all staff and families who gave up their Saturday morning sleep in to support our Kokoda kids. 

Dance in PE

This week, we have been doing some dancing as our warm ups for our Juniors, and our seniors have been more than happy to lead our dances. Thanks for your help and for ensuring our PE teachers don't have to show their dance moves.
