Sports News
Welcome to 2021 and a year in sport. After many cancellations in 2020 of sporting events, plans are underway to reinstate many events into our calendars. While we will have to get used to a new ‘Covid Normal’ which for many events at a district and regional level will at this point in time be ‘Spectator Free’, it is exciting to see that these opportunities are again opening up for our students and not just for elite athletes. Our calendar is jammed packed right from the beginning – if you do have questions relating to sport, please email me at jjard16@eq.edu.au and I will endeavour to answer them or find out the answers from the relevant group.
2021 will also see major changes to the Health and Physical Education (HPE) Program at Enoggera in line with full implementation of the Australian HPE Curriculum. A separate information letter will be sent home regarding changes. Some of the most significant changes for our school however, include welcoming Mrs Prill to the HPE team. Mrs Prill will be teaching PA, PB, P1A and 1A on a Thursday. All other classes will continue to work with Mrs Jardine, who will now be working at Enoggera three days per week on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
District Swimming Carnival:
Wednesday 10th February, a number of our students will get the opportunity to participate in the District Swimming Trials at the Lawnton Pool, good luck to those participating. This is a ‘Spectator Free Event’. Details have been sent home with those students who have qualified for this event, please ensure permission forms are returned to school by Friday 5th Feb. Further information will be sent to those involved via email as it is provided to us.
Class Swimming:
This will be kicking off in Week 2 (Wednesday 3rd Feb) for 1/2A class up to year 6 students. The PA, PB, P/1A and 1A will commence swimming in Week 5 (Thursday 25th February). A separate note with more details has been emailed home to families last week.
Thank you to everyone who has returned their permission forms to allow their students to participate in this program. Anyone with outstanding permission forms has been contacted directly via email by the School Admin Team – if you have received an email requesting permission please ensure you return those forms urgently, students are unable to participate in class lessons until that form is returned.
During the term we will be focusing on water confidence and safety in the pool, as well as safety and wellbeing in other settings.
