Welcome back to another sporting year at Gympie West State School. There are lots of sporting opportunities being offered in 2025.

The Gympie District Wide Bay sporting trials calendar has been confirmed. More details: Sports_Trials.pdf

Some dates to put into your diary are:

• Cross Country and Colour Run - Thursday 3 April
• Sports Days - Monday 23 June to Thursday 26 June (Main Day is Thursday 26 June). 

Nomination forms for all Gympie District team sports are now available from the school office. Please ensure forms are filled out on time if you want your child nominated. My suggestion is to fill out the nomination form as soon as possible.

Any students wanting to nominate for Gympie District swimming should see the PE teacher. Very high standards apply and students must be in a swimming club with electronic times recorded to nominate.  

Jacob from AFL Queensland visited our school this week to promote Auskick. Flyers are available at the office.

During PE this term our students will be doing preparation for Cross Country. Prep and Year 1 are also doing activities with catching and throwing. Year 2 are doing Gymnastics, Year 3 and 4 are doing Games, and Year 5 and 6 are doing Volleyball.  

2H, 2M, 4RD and 4/5M will commence swimming lessons next week at Deep Blue Aquatic Centre. Notes should be returned as soon as possible. There is no cost as our P&C and a Sporting Schools Grant are covering the cost.  

Until next week... Keep playing sport!
