Athletics Report

Thank you to everyone who attended our athletics carnival last week. It was the first time we have attempted to put the event on over just the one day. We greatly appreciated the
cooperation from both the students and parents to start the day early with the jumps and throws, which enabled the carnival to run to schedule.

There were some brilliant performances by the students throughout the day. Staff worked
tirelessly to ensure the whole event ran smoothly and we really appreciate the help we received from parents to coordinate the field and running events. Thank you to the P&C for providing
delicious snacks and drinks throughout the day and a huge thank you to all those parents and carers who came to support their children and the event.

The overall faction winners of the carnival were Strickland. The champion girls and boys from each year group are listed below.

We are now looking forward to our students competing at the Interschool Athletics Carnival on Tuesday 24^th September.  Good luck to all those competing on the day.

Dear families

While we are aware that community events are important to many people in our community, an enjoyable and successful sports carnival is first and foremost about the students. Weather forecasts suggest that there is a strong chance that Wednesday will be windy and cold, if not also wet. We have therefore made the decision to postpone the carnival until next Monday, 9 September. Monday and the days either side, appear to be both warm and fine, and are likely to mean a more positive and enjoyable event.

We appreciate that some will be pleased and others disappointed. By making the decision today, we hope to give as many as possible an opportunity to rearrange competing schedules.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

The interschool cross country event was held on Wednesday 26^th June 2019 at City Beach Oval. The event was organised and hosted by City Beach Primary School. The weather was kind to us despite a terrible forecast. We had some outstanding results including: Arabella T 2^nd and Meg W 3^rd in the Year 3 girls race, Nicolas S 4^th in the Year 3 boys race, Chelsea H 1^st and Milla T 4^th in the Year 4 girls race, Louis N 3rd in the Year 6 boys race. The following students finished within the top 10 in their races: Alice P, Jeremy F, Xavier P, Jessica W and Jethro L.

The overall school results were as follows: 5^th Kapinara Primary, joint 3rd Floreat Primary and Wembley Downs Primary, 2nd Mt Hawthorn, Wembley Primary were the overall winners. Staff in attendance were: Deb Zaltsman, Elizabeth Blackwell, Dean Hodgson and Elizabeth Burrows.

The Interschool Cross Country carnival scheduled for tomorrow will go ahead as planned. Students and spectators are advised to bring along wet weather gear and a change of clothes.
There will also be barista coffee, teas, water, a sausage sizzle and delicious home baked sweet and savoury treats on sale for parents only.
The program commences at 12.15pm, with Year 3 running first.

Depending on the weather City Beach PS have decided that if it really wet the boys and girls will race together to shorten the time out in the rain. If the weather is fine then the Year 3 boys will be followed by the Year 3 girls and so on up to Year 6.

The schedule has now changed and the carnival will now end at 1.10, with the bus leaving City Beach Oval at 1.30pm.  So the races will be grouped together with boys and girls running at the same time.

Presentations will be held after each race.

We kindly ask that all students return to school on the bus as it makes it difficult to keep track of where students are when parents request to take their child home with them from the venue.
It is also important that we build ‘Kapinara team spirit’ for teams that represent our school and this is facilitated when we travel to and from interschool venues as a team.

We look forward to a great day – see you all there!

Due to the Faction Swimming Carnival, there will be no Swim Squad training after school

Summer Basketball

Games begin this Thursday for girls teams and this Saturday for boys teams. Please look on the front office desk for times that your child’s team is playing. You can also check the Perry Lakes Hawks website, under the school competition. The club puts out the fixtures each week. If you are aware of what time your child is playing, please let other parents in your team know. Being a great community, I am sure the word will get around.
A quick shout out to all Year 4 boys teams. I will need either some people to change over and join Kapinara 7 or I will need at least 2 people to help that team out each game until the team has enough players. If you could please contact me if your son is keen to play another game, please contact me at Louise.Smith@education.wa.edu.au

Inflatable Soccer

Correction from newsletter – Due to City Beach Primary School’s school camp, the inflatable soccer season will commence Tuesday Week 3, 23rd October until Week 9, 11th December.  Years 1-3 will play on Wednesdays and Years 3-6 will play on Tuesdays. Fixtures will be out later this week.
