Representative Sport
(10, 11 and 12 Years only)
Students at
Kuraby are given the opportunity to represent their school and the Eastern
Taipans District (formerly Sunnybank District) in a range of sports.
Notices will be put in the newsletter on upcoming trials. Students will be seen
during PE or class, and posters will be hung around the school to
make students aware of the trial. Any student can get a form from Mrs
Lloyd, but must display quality skills or play at a Club or Rep level. Where
there are many students wishing to trial for a sport, a session will be held to
select the school representatives, as only 2 students per age group can proceed
to the District Trial. For Cross Country in Term 1, the top 6
students in the 10, 11, and 12 year age group could possibly go on to represent
our school at the District Cross Country Carnival if they meet the time limit
set for their age group. Our junior students (Prep - Year 2) compete in a
Junior Cross Country Carnival where the emphasis is on fun, fitness and
development of running skills. For Track and Field, students who place 1st, 2nd
and 3rd in the Track events, or throw/ jump the required qualifying
distance/height, could possibly gain selection in the Kuraby Track and Field
Team to compete at the Eastern Taipans District Athletics Carnival.
Inter-school (Gala Day)
Sport
Students have the
opportunity to represent our school in the Sunnybank District Inter-School
Sport Gala Day competition against other schools in our area, an all-day
competition held over 3 days throughout the year. In Semester 2, students
will have the opportunity to participate in Cricket, Touch Football and
Netball. These sports can change depending on demand.
Friday Afternoon Sport
When Gala Days are not
being held, all Year 5 and 6 students participate in a variety of sports on a
Friday afternoon. This is aimed to provide students with an opportunity to
build on their skills and teamwork in a non-competitive, friendly and familiar
environment.
