ISA Athletics and Invitational Carnival
Students who have been selected for the ISA Athletics team should all now be aware of their selection and should know which events they are competing in on the day. The Invitational Athletics Carnival (Saturday 31 August) is an excellent opportunity for the team to practice for their event in a competitive environment. The carnival is attended by ISA, CAS and GPS schools and attendance is strongly recommended for all competitors. Detailed information about the day was sent out earlier this week.
A reminder that the ISA Carnival is on Tuesday 17 September.Training for all Athletics Team members will continue Monday afternoons on Founders Field leading up to the event.
ISA Summer Sport + Selection Trials
The Summer Sport selection form has now closed. Some teams will select themselves based on the number of students in certain age groups. Most age groups, however, will be required to trial, and teams will be selected based on student performance at the trials while taking into consideration previous playing history and experience. Please see below for upcoming trial dates. Further information about the times, locations and age groups required to attend will be sent out shortly.
Thursday 12 September, 3.45 – 5.00pm:Summer trials and training (all teams)

Tuesday 17 September: No training or trials due to ISA Athletics Carnival
Thursday 19 September: Summer training and trials (all teams)
We will endeavour to select and announce all teams by Monday 23 September in order for teams to train as normal on Tuesday 24 and Thursday 26 September. If wet weather interferes with trial sessions, these dates will be used as back up.
There will be no training in Week 1 of Term 4 due to OLE week. All teams will return to training as normal in Week 2, Term 4 with the first round of the Summer ISA season beginning on Saturday 26 October.
