Fitness Club 

Fitness club started up on the 9th of February with around 50 students attending. Students have been increasing their aerobic fitness through different running activities and exercises such as sit ups, push ups, squats and lunges. Thanks to Mrs Wagner, Mrs McHugh and Mr Hannant for your assistance with helping run the classes. Don’t forget, fitness club runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:15am to 8am. Fitness club is for students in year three to six. Please make sure your child is on time if they wish to attend, as the sessions start with stretching and a warmup which need to be completed before participating. If your child would like to attend, they can get a permission form from the office. If you have any questions, please email Mr Luck via brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.

All Zone and Darling Downs trials will be placed on SchoolZine. Please check SchoolZine 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 me.

Prep – 8-year-old Swimming Carnival 

On Tuesday the 30th of March the prep to 8-year-old swimming carnival will be held at Glennie Aquatics Centre. This carnival is designed so the younger students at St Saviour’s can have some fun in the pool at a less competitive level.  This carnival will follow on from your child’s swimming lessons.
