Term 1 Squad Information

Dear VHPS Parents,

Welcome back to the start of the academic year 2023/24 at Victory Heights Primary School! We’re thrilled to embark on another year of exciting sports activities and events.

As in previous years, we will be following the DASSA League format, which adds an extra layer of competitiveness to our sporting calendar. Just like before, each term will feature a diverse range of sports, allowing our students to explore their interests and discover new talents.

For this upcoming Term 1, we are pleased to announce that Boy’s Football, Girls Netball, and Mixed Swim Squad will be available for our students in Year 3 to 6. The squads are designed to provide a platform for skill development, teamwork, and a healthy dose of friendly competition.

To sign your child up for their chosen squads, please use the following link: Sign-Up Form. Please note, the sign up function will be closed Sunday 3rd September 10:30am.

Assessment Days and Timings for Term 1 Sports Squads – Please note that assessments will take place over a 2 week period:

Monday 4th & 11th:

Year 3 & 4 Netball (MPH) and Football (Field) – 7:00am

Tuesday 5th & 12th:

Year 5 & 6 Swimming (Pool) – 14:40-15:30

*To help your child make the most of the swimming assessments, we strongly recommend that they have been participating in the advanced swimming group (Sharks) during their swimming lessons. This will ensure they are well-prepared and confident in their skills before attending the assessments.
 
For morning sessions, children should enter the school via Gate 4. Please note that the gate will not be opened until 6:55am. Under no circumstance should a child be left unattended whilst waiting for the Gate to be opened. Please also note that siblings must not be left unattended on school grounds.

For afternoon sessions, rest assured that our school staff will supervise the children and ensure their safe participation in the chosen ECA. However, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of parents to collect their children from the designated locations at the specified finish times.We’re excited to see our students embrace the sports squads with enthusiasm and determination. It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to make new friends, enhance their skills, and most importantly, have fun!

Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to a successful year of sports ahead.

 
Final Note: Mr Dan will also be leading a Squad Webinar on the 6th September: 15:10 to share more information, however if you have any further questions, please reach out to Mr Dan – via email; dparratt@vhprimary – Or via Seesaw
