Junior School Sport

A Fantastic Start to the Junior School Sporting Year

The Junior School swimming season has kicked off with great success, with both the Years 3-6 Swimming Carnival and the K-2 Splash and Dash providing wonderful opportunities for students to showcase their enthusiasm, skills, and house spirit. We were fortunate to have perfect weather for both events, and it was fantastic to see such high levels of participation from our students.

The Years 3-6 Swimming Carnival was a day filled with energy and excitement, as students competed in a mix of competitive and novelty races. This year’s event also marked an exciting milestone as we celebrated the introduction of our new Junior School houses, adding a vibrant splash of colour and team spirit throughout the day.

A special congratulations to our House Captains, whose leadership and encouragement played a pivotal role in fostering team spirit and supporting their peers across both events. Their enthusiasm and dedication contributed immensely to the success of the day.

The K-2 Splash and Dash was another memorable event, with our youngest students embracing the fun and excitement of swimming races and novelty events. It was heartwarming to see them challenge themselves, gain confidence, and enjoy every moment in the water. A huge thank you to our Year 6 students, who showed exceptional care and leadership in supporting their Kindergarten buddies throughout the afternoon.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the many parents who came along to support and cheer for the students, as well as to our staff and maintenance team, whose efforts ensured that both events ran smoothly.

Outstanding Performances at the Frensham Invitational Swimming Carnival

Recently, a select group of students from Years 3-6 participated in the Frensham Invitational Swimming Carnival, based on their results from the Junior School Swimming Carnival. Our swimmers delivered outstanding performances, securing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons across multiple races. This carnival provided a fantastic warm-up opportunity for those students competing in the IPSHA Swimming Carnival on Tuesday. Participants raced against students from Tudor House, Frensham Junior School, and The Highlands Christian School. Thank you to all the families who came along to support our swimmers.

Wishing Our Junior Swimmers Success at the IPSHA Swimming Carnival This Week!

We wish our Oxley Junior School Swimming Team the best of luck as they travel to Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre this Tuesday for the IPSHA Swimming Carnival. This event is an exciting opportunity for Years 3-6 students to compete in the Olympic pool situated at Homebush amid an incredible atmosphere and spirited competition.

Junior School Cross Country Carnival – Coming Up on Tuesday, 11 March!

The Junior School Cross Country Carnival is fast approaching and will be held on Tuesday 11 March at Oxley.

This year, we are excited to introduce an updated 3km course for the 11 Years and 12+ Years age groups. The revised route now includes part of the Wingecarribee Bike Track, offering students a greater variety of terrain and inclines while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of our school. This update will also help better prepare students for IPSHA and other future cross-country events. To familiarise themselves with the new course, students will walk it during their PE lessons in the lead-up to the carnival.

Winter Sports Registrations & Upcoming Trials

We have received a fantastic response to Winter Sports registrations, and we appreciate your patience as our Sports Department works through team allocations. Parents will receive further details soon regarding their child’s chosen sport.

If you have not yet registered, please contact the Sports Department as soon as possible at sport.admin@oxley.nsw.edu.au.

For teams with high registration numbers, trials will be held to determine team allocations, and families will be contacted shortly with trial dates and times. We understand that some students are still involved in Summer Sports. However, once Winer Sports trials begin, all students must prioritise these trials if they are relevant to their Winter Sports selection.

We look forward to another exciting season of Oxley sport!

Kind regards
