On the last day of Term 2, Thursday 24th June 2021, 12 of our students from Years 7-10 took part in an online community SACCSS Chess tournament against CRC Melton.

Students used this opportunity to ‘train’ for the SACCSS Chess Tournament (which will be held sometime this term, just awaiting confirmation on a date due to lockdown). It also allowed students to earn some handy ranking points in the process.

All students participating put in a solid effort and the competition was successful in completing 4 rounds. We would like to congratulate the following students who did exceptionally well, taking out the 3 podium finishes.

I’m happy and proud to announce that our Health Club team started Term 3 off with a BANG!!!! 

Both our Tuesday & Thursday sessions were at full capacity with our awesome team of students commiting to setting, achieving and smashing our new fitness goals for Term 3.

Unfortunately, weeks two & three have been postponed due to the lockdown, however we are keen to get back on track as soon as possible when back at school. 

Watch this space!

The Olympic Games like any other event provides a great opportunity for us all to reminisce of our past Olympic Games experiences, share these with our kids and create new memories with our loved ones.

I myself remember being a young boy watching the opening ceremony with my family. We would all be gathered in our lounge room watching the television and in awe of the spectacle that was taking place on screen. Our favourite Olympic sport to watch was the track and field and we would hold our breath every time an Australian athlete competed. It still is my favourite sport to watch today. I am excited that my two girls (Jasmine and Olivia) are old enough now to watch the Olympics with me and celebrate what the games are truly about, which is to promote peace and unity within the international community.

I encourage our school community to have these conversations with one another around your memories watching past Olympic games and maybe even sharing your favourite Olympic moment. Please feel free to share your Olympic Games Memories with me by emailing: dmarshall@crcstalbans.com.au, as I would love to hear them and share in our next Newsletter.

During the Olympic Games we will be providing opportunities for our students, staff and our wider school community to participate in activities both at home, online and at school. Please checkout our Daily Bulletin for further information and Health and PE teachers will also set activities for our students.
