Marg Dolijanin Medallion
The Marg Dolijanin Medallion was introduced in 2021 to acknowledge a Year Six student each year who displays exemplary sporting ability throughout their final year of schooling. Miss Doljanin is about to commence her 50th year of teaching at St Saviour’s Primary in 2025. Over these years Miss Doljanin has been instrumental in sport at St Saviour’s Primary. Amongst her achievements are the fact that Miss Doljanin was the very first PE teacher at St Saviour’s Primary. To do this she would take other classes for sport whilst her class was at music or drama. She has organised many athletics, swimming and netball carnivals at school level, Catholic Sport Level and Regional Level. Miss Doljanin coached Darling Downs Netball teams for many years, winning the state title twice and was also a QLD selector for netball and due to this is a life member with QLD Primary Schools Netball. Miss Doljanin still helps organise athletics carnivals and coaches athletics in the morning. She has always been a supportive sounding board for both Mr Hannant and Mr Luck as PE teachers over the last few years. Miss Dolijanin has spent countless hours over the years helping students to become the best versions of themselves in their chosen discipline or sport. St Saviour’s Primary thanks Miss Dolijanin for all her hard work over her time at St Saviour’s Primary.
To be considered for this award students need to qualify and represent St Saviour’s Primary in the Central Zone/Toowoomba, Darling Downs and State teams. Points are then awarded to students throughout the school year with two points given for making a Central Zone/Toowoomba team, four points for making a Darling Downs team and six points for making a State team. We are very excited to announce our recipient of the Marg Dolijanin Medallion at our Week Ten assembly. If you have any questions regarding the Marg Dolijanin Medallion, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr Brendan Luck at Brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.
Sporting Schools Soccer Sessions
Afterschool Soccer sessions started last week with around 35 students attending. These sessions are organised through Sporting Schools and funded by a grant accessible through the Queensland Government. This initiative provides students with the opportunity to try out new sports and engage with their community. Soccer is a popular sport in Australia, and it's wonderful that students have the chance to participate in these sessions. It not only promotes physical activity but also helps build teamwork and sportsmanship among the participants.
Zone and Darling Downs Trials
All Zone and Darling Downs trials will be placed on Parent Portal. Please check Parent Portal regularly or set up notifications on your phone if you wish for your child to be eligible to trial for Zone and Darling Downs sporting teams as you will be required to obtain paperwork from myself. I am unable to nominate students after the closing date so please make sure you do keep an eye on Parent Portal. Any questions, please contact me at brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.
Cheers
