Upcoming Dates

Congratulations

Congratulations to the Hayley Harch and Aida Rogers who have gained selection in the Toowoomba Zone Girls U12 Rugby League team to attend the DDSS trials in in July.

Congratulation to Goolagong House on winning all 3 trophies at the OLOL Athletics Carnival. A very dominant result with plenty of students contributing to the win either through Standard competition points or placings in Championship events.

OLOL Athletics Carnival

Thank you to all students, staff, and parents who participated in and supported the OLOL Athletics Carnival. Despite the cold and windy conditions, it was very pleasing to see the number of students giving their best either jumping, running, or throwing in both Championship and Standards events.

Highlights of the Carnival included:

• Hudson Blackburn breaking the Boys U11 High Jump record (new record 1.32m)
• The huge Foxtail throws that reached over 35m and the whistle of the Vortex as they were launched.
• The resilience of the 200m runners who ran into the strong winds and kept going, after a long day of events.
• The huge number of parents who cheered on and supported the P-2 runners in their sprints and relays.
• The many students who demonstrated their House Spirit by wearing extra House colours and cheering all day.

A huge call out to Mr Watt and Mr Shoebridge who started setting up in the dark at 6.30am and then finished the day unloading after school had finished.

Representative Sport—Toowoomba & Darling Downs Teams

Throughout the course of the year Toowoomba Primary School Sport and Darling Downs School Sport offer trials to eligible students for a variety of team and individual sports. Strict nomination requirements apply, and it is at the sole discretion of the school to decide whether to nominate individual students. OLOL will also host trials for sports which have multiple students seeking to nominate to attend the TPSS or DDSS trials. All trials will be advertised by email to parents, on assembly and in PE lessons, and posted on the Sports Board outside the Hall. The trials listed below are either yet to be advertised or have been advertised and the nomination window is still open.

Concerns and Questions

If you have any future questions or concerns, always feel free to contact me. I am very keen to ensure we maintain a high level of communication and give every possible opportunity for students to play, enjoy, and learn in a friendly, safe, positive, and inclusive environment. Please note that I do not work at OLOL on Mondays except for occasional Sporting School lessons, however I am still available to be contacted to ensure I can support and assist in any way possible.
