FINAL ACC SWIMMING SQUAD ‘SWIM OFF’S’ & SQUAD PHOTOGRAPH INFORMATION

THURSDAY 21^ST MARCH

The attitude displayed by our Swimming Squad to date has been excellent, and we can truly say that the core values of our Swim Squad have been exhibited this Term . . .

·         Dedication

·         Hardwork

We sincerely hope to be highly competitive ‘B’ Division this year.

In order to finalise the ACC Swimming Squad, the ‘Swim Offs’ will take place next week on Thursday 21^st March at HBF Arena, Joondalup. ALL ACC Squad members are involved, but these are especially important for those members of the squad who are in contention for the same position or race as another student. All relay teams will also have the opportunity for a final team practice. The ‘Swim Offs’ are preceded with the official ACC Swimming Squad photograph at School and are followed by a Squad bowling session at Strike Bowling Joondalup. The ACC Swimming Squad will then be published as ‘Final’ and no further changes will be made unless due to unforeseen injury, illness or absence which we hope to avoid.

Below is the ruling from the ACC Swimming Charter in relation to Inter-School Bathers:

Bathers: It is mandatory for competitors to swim in official school bathers. In exceptional circumstances schools may seek an exemption from the ACC for individual students to swim in non-official school bathers, as long as they are FINA approved (being in good moral taste and non-transparent) and are predominantly in school official colours. Official school bathers should be competition Racing Bathers for Boys and Girls.

P&F LEVY HOURS OPPORTUNITY - Swimming Timekeepers needed!

It would be very much appreciated if parents could offer their assistance to act as Timekeepers at the ‘Swim Offs’ on the afternoon of Thursday 21^st March. Please contact Mr. P. Squire at school on 9403 5500 or psquire@petermoyes.wa.edu.au  or complete a nomination on the School Parent Portal.

SUMMER CAS TERM 1

Our aim is for all CAS teams to be ‘consistently competitive’ in a range of sports. Summer CAS Teams have completed their first two fixtures and displayed some excellent game play against both Irene McCormack CC and St Mark’s ACS.  We have two teams who have secured a win in both fixtures so far and are sitting in equal first place, a great effort from our Senior Girls Basketball and Year 8/9 Girls Touch teams.

Students involved should check the Sports Noticeboard weekly to confirm their playing details. They should also ensure they are marked off their team list by their Team Captain on game day and have appropriate sporting equipment with them. All fixture details were published the last edition of Sports News. Additional information can be found in the Inter-School Sports Programme Information Booklet given to all students. Parents of selected students were also e-mailed directly following successful selection.

Good luck to all teams as they play Lake Joondalup Baptist College this week.

PRE-SEASON TRAINING FOR SOCCER, NETBALL & AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL

Over 150 students have been coming to the Northern Oval and the Netball Courts for the pre-season preparations that aid our CAS Team selections in Term 2.

Positions still available in;

This is a day where all students will represent Peter Moyes Anglican Community School in their chosen sport (Basketball, Soccer, Touch Rugby, Volleyball, or Cricket) and play competitive games against other CAS schools.  The main focus of the day is participation, fun, teamwork and enjoyment of sports activities and it enables all students to play sports against some of our local rivals in a sport of their choice.

P&F LEVY HOURS OPPORTUNITIES

Year 7 Lightning Carnival – Parental Team Assistants needed!

• Basketball

Please  complete the nomination process through the PORTAL if you are able to assist in any these roles, or if you would like further information.
