Senior PC Volleyball Competition
Congratulations to Mr Toohey's PC, M09, on being crowned the winners of the Senior PC Volleyball Competition. Thank you to Wellbeing Coordinator, Ms Kylie Wallis, for organising this pastoral activity. I refer you to Kylie's report below.
In Term 2, Senior PC groups were involved in a volleyball round robin. After five weeks of round games, finals were played this week. Final one saw Macquarie 9 vs Innes 9 and final two saw Oxley 8 vs Innes 8. Both games were close with some excellent sportsmanship displayed with final winners Macquarie 9 and Innes 8 moving onto the grand final.
The grand final was closely contested even though Innes 8 were down several class members on Thursday morning due to Hospitality commitments. However, this did not decrease their level of enthusiasm or teamwork. Unfortunately, a late comeback was not to be with Macquarie 9 showing great composure and skill to take out the grand final 22-21.
I thank all PC groups, it was great to see the high levels of involvement, and we look forward to completing another competition this term.

Busways- Afternoon Transport to a Different Destination
With the re-commencement of sport for many of our students, after-school training and competitions have begun this week.
Busways have informed us that their current bus capacity is unable to accommodate the extra students wishing to catch the bus to sport/training. Students regularly catching a bus to their homes are guaranteed a position on the bus, and must have their bus pass. Those wanting to catch the bus to other venues can not be guaranteed a position on the bus once it reaches capacity. Unfortunately, this week, some students were unable to catch a different bus to attend sport training.
Busways have recommended that you make private arrangements for your child to attend after school sport or training.
Research Survey
We have received a request to share the following research survey from Professor Rylee A Dionigi of Charles Sturt University. Please refer to the information below.
How did you feel when you couldn’t play or watch sport due to COVID-19 restrictions?
Perhaps you are still unable to play or watch sport.
My colleagues and I are doing a research study on the social and emotional impact of the disruption to sports due to COVID-19 in rural and regional NSW. We are keen to learn from your experiences.
If you’re interested in completing an online survey, click on the link below and/or share it with your contacts, particularly local sporting clubs or anyone you know who plays sport, and/or coaches, officiates or manages sport, and/or watches sport, be it parents watching their kids play or anyone who likes watching professional sports on TV or online!
The survey is for those 18 years and over and it takes about 15-30 mins to complete, depending on how much or fast you write!
