A letter from CECG Sports Coordinator Sherree Bush

Dear Parents,

In these unpredictable and uncertain times, we are attempting to keep any sporting pathways open for our students that are on offer, therefore we are continuing to plan Term 3 Archdiocesan sporting events as per usual. This may however change and each school within our Archdiocese will have a differing set of circumstances. Moving forward we have a few different scenarios that may play out;

• Schools may run qualifying events during PE lessons in order to put in to place measurements to submit times, distances and/or heights for athletics in the case we are able to hold the Archdiocesan Athletics Carnival as per scheduled on the calendar for Term 3 Week 5.
• In the case that this is not possible, previous years’ results may be used for consideration for the Archdiocesan Carnival
• If we are unable to hold the Archdiocesan Carnival these entry times, distances and/or heights will be used for the NSWCPS (MacKillop) Athletics carnival.
• NSWCPS (MacKillop) Athletics still is going ahead and will more than likely be held in Term 4.
• At this stage, the NSWPSSA Athletics carnival is also still going ahead at this stage

In the event that we are able to hold the Archdiocesan Athletics Carnival and CSNSW decide to cancel the NSWCPS (MacKillop) carnival we will still go ahead with the Archdiocesan Carnival as these results may still be used to progress to NSWPSSA should it still be held.

All of the above carnivals will follow the COVID-19 Guidelines from the Government for schools, sporting events and venues at the time of the event. This may result in reduced numbers and/or no spectators or parents being permitted at the event. In the event that there are no parents or spectators to be admitted and your school is unable to provide transportation for the event you may have to either transport your child or organise to carpool and drop them off and collect them at the completion of the event.

We understand that there may be some financial constraints so there is no pressure what-so-ever to compete at the Archdiocesan Carnival – it is up to your discretion and the circumstances that your family may be experiencing.

We apologise that we are unable to give any definite decisions as of yet, the circumstances are ever-changing and we will keep everyone updated as to any situational changes that occur. The safety and well-being of our students, staff and parents is a priority and we intend to keep within the guidelines that have been set by the Government at the time.

For St Mary's...

St Mary’s Staff are working together to plan a possible and maybe modified, Athletics Carnival towards the end of this term. As has been the norm during COVID-19 restrictions, we will need to constantly revise and work with authorities to determine how this will look.

We will endeavour to communicate outcomes as they arise.

As mentioned in Sherree’s letter, various sporting trials/events timetabled for Term Three are still planned for. This includes Cricket and Touch Football.
