Gala Days cut off dates:
We are very fortunate that we are able to provide our students at St Michael's with opportunities to be involved in a range of sporting events throughout the year. These include our annual Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country events and also a range of sports through organising external Gala Days.
We understand that each family and student's schedules can be quite busy, but we firmly believe that participation in sports not only promotes physical fitness, but also teaches valuable life skills. It fosters teamwork, time management and the ability to handle challenges gracefully. Encouraging your child to take part in these events could contribute significantly to their overall development.
If your child is interested in participating in any of our sporting events and Gala Days, please ensure that their nominations are submitted by the specified cutoff dates. Unfortunately late nominations cannot be considered due to the logistical constraints and deadlines that are set by the Catholic Education Office and their conveners to ensure they can coordinate the day to enable participation of our schools across the diocese.
If you have any questions or require assistance at any time with the nomination process, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr Bryce or Ms Shea at the school.
Thank you for your continued support in fostering a culture of sportsmanship and healthy competition among our students. We look forward to seeing our young athletes excel in future sporting events.
