Sports Day
September 16th
Dear Parents,
We are all looking forward to the DSKI Sports Day on Monday 16th September. Parents and children are reminded to bring hats, water bottles, sunscreen, etc
While today is cooler, it is forecast to be hot again on Monday. With this in mind we will try and start the first event as close to 9am as possible. This is to ensure the days events can be completed before the hottest part of the day. We may decide not to go ahead with the planned students and parents events at the end of the formal competition also.
Please note also there will be no school lunch on the day.
Regards,
Lachlan Waite
Sports Teacher
