Year 5 & 6 Interschool Sport - Cancelled

The Townsville School Sport Executive met recently and unfortunately, have made the decision to cancel the anticipated reboot of Interschool Sport in Term 3. The decision was not made lightly, understanding the impact this will have on many school communities. The current restrictions and guidelines, along with working with outside agencies and venues and their individual Covid-19 plans, meant that mitigating the inherent risks involved were not possible.

Holy Spirit Athletics Carnival – Thursday 27 and Friday 28 August

Training for track and field events has been taking place during physical education lessons and will culminate with an Athletics Carnival held on the School Oval across two days on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 August. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions this event is for students only. Students will compete in their Year Levels, although results for students will be calculated by year of birth as per Qld School Sport. Students 5-8 years will take part in track and novelty events with an emphasis on both fun and participation. Students 9-12 years will be eligible for age champions as they will compete in both track field events. Further information will be available closer to the date.

Student protection and wellbeing are paramount at Holy Spirit Catholic School. We place the highest priority on the safety and care of the children and young people. All children have a right to expect that the school will always do all that is possible to protect them from any harm and create safe learning environments. All school staff attend yearly training in student protection matters. The four staff members who are appointed as School Safe Persons receive comprehensive in-service.
