Congratulations

A couple of weeks ago Elias F competed at the Otago Primary School's swimming championships in Dunedin against children from all schools throughout Otago.  Congratulations to Elias who got third place in both the 12-year plus 50-metre backstroke and breaststroke.

Futsal Draw

The draw is for Monday 28th November.  Please note the Yr 3/4 and the Yr 7/8 team will be short of players due to the North Otago Athletics happening at the same time.  The Yr 5/6 team will default their game because most of their team is competing in athletics.

Yr 3/4 - St Joseph's Red v Fenwick  Falcons at 4.30 pm on the main court, half court A

Touch Rugby

The draw will be sent out on Monday to you.  Below please find a message from North Otago Touch about behaviour concerns at the fields. This message was sent to all schools.

The past few weeks we have been dealing with an increasing number of referees being argued with and sworn at, and in general bad behaviour with swearing and disrespect around the fields. We've even had a padlock used to lock the gate stolen this week! It is not everyone, but it has been spread between players, coaches and supporters. We are asking that schools work with us and maybe send a reminder about behaviour around your touch communities? We are hoping for a much more positive week next week! 

Please remind your children about good sportsmanship and positive behaviour.

Yr 7 & 8 Interschool against St Joseph's School, Timaru

This a reminder about the interschool happening this Wednesday.  Please ensure the children are aware of what items they need to bring and what time they have to be at school.
