Zone Field Events, 800m Heats and Track Events
On Wednesday 22 August, 15 Galston students attended the Beecroft Zone Field Events and 800m
Heats Carnival at Cherrybrook. On the day we had a number of students who were successful in
their events. We have two students who will represent Beecroft Zone at the Sydney North Athletics
Carnival on the 10 September.
Nicholas Thomson had a fantastic day coming first in the Junior Long Jump and Junior Shot Put.
Nicholas also attended the Discus competition the previous day where he came second. Zachary
Jamieson came second in the 11 years Long Jump. Zachary also attended the Discus competition,
where came first in the 11 years Discus. We wish Nicholas and Zachary good luck for the Area
Carnival and we’re sure they will represent our zone and school with pride.
We had a number of other students who had excellent results on the day. Brennan Smith competed
in the Senior High Jump where he finished third. Callum Trethowan qualified in the 800m Heats to
run in the final at the Track Carnival.
A large group of Galston students attended the Zone Track competition on Wednesday 29 August at
Greenway Park. It was a great day and all students participated enthusiastically and did their personal
best. A big congratulations to all the students who attended their first Zone Competition, you did a
great job. It was a pleasure to take this group of students to the carnival. They participated keenly
and behaved beautifully. Well done!
Parent Helpers
It has been wonderful to witness the number of parent helpers in the school, especially in classrooms.
This assistance is greatly appreciated by teachers and certainly assists students with their learning. It is
also extremely beneficial for students to see mum or dad helping in the classroom, as it demonstrates
that education is valued. Thank you to all parents who assist in the school, whether it is in the
classroom, canteen, uniform shop or P&C. We greatly appreciate that you give up your time to help.
Please remember, prior to assisting with a school activity, all parent helpers need to complete the
sign-on book in the office. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
SRC
As part of our fundraising commitments, the SRC is supporting the Jeans for Genes Foundation. On
Friday 21 September (last day of term) the students will be able to wear jeans and a football shirt
(any code). The students have been asked to contribute a gold coin donation. Thank you in
anticipation of your support.
Next P & C Meeting – Tuesday 11 September at 7.30pm in school hall
