Matt Grice, Director of Sport
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend.
Congratulations to Huon Groves and Thomas Altundag who both gained selection to NSW All Schools Cross Country by placing in the top 10 runners for CIS in their age groups. Julian Kelly came 12th and will therefore be a reserve. Huon won the U17s race outright. Cranbrook also placed first as a school in the U17s race represented by Huon Groves, Julian Kelly, Matthew Radvin and Max Shabat.
Concussion Protocols
This year Cranbrook and the other CAS schools adopted the “Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) new Australian Concussion Guidelines for Youth and Community Sport, which were released on 1 February 2024.
The Australian Concussion Guidelines for Youth and Community Sport have been designed to provide clear and consistent guidance on concussion for parents, teachers, coaches, sideline staff and others involved in youth and community sport.
These guidelines provide information on how to recognise and manage concussion from the time of injury through to a safe return to education, work and playing sport. This information is intended for the general public and for individuals participating in youth (those aged under 19 years) and community sports where healthcare practitioners are less likely to be available to diagnose and monitor symptom progression of individuals with concussion.
Please download the Cranbrook and AIS Concussion guidelines here. If you have any questions around concussion, please don’t hesitate to email Cranbrook’s Head of Athletic Performance. Paul Hallam. Phallam@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au
Please download this weekend’s fixtures here.
