T20 Cricket

10/31/2016

0 Comments

 
On October 25th a group of students from Year 5/6 went out to play T20 Cricket against 52 other schools. It was a lot fun and despite the hot weather, we all had an amazing day out.
The girl’s team won one game with a huge score of 202.  The boys showed great improvement over the day and were unfortunate not to come out with a win. There were lots of smiles and laughs throughout the day.
All of the students who went to cricket would like to thank the parents who came along and sat through the hot weather to support the teams.  It was great to share the day with you.

Connewarre District Athletics Championships

8/29/2016

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, 24th August 54 students headed off to Landy Field to compete in our District Athletics Championships.  We had students represent Clifton Springs Primary in the field events of high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put and discus.  The track events we participated in included 100m, 200m, 800m, hurdles and team relays.
 
Congratulations to all of the students who trained in the weeks leading up to the competition and who competed on the day. We had an awesome time both participating in the events and cheering each other on. It was exciting to see many people achieve a personal best, perhaps they were given extra inspiration through our work on the Olympics! Congratulations to all of the students that made it through to the Regional Competition, compared to last year, we did an amazing job!  Last year we had two people make it through to the Regionals, this year we have eight:
 
Josie Taylor – 12/13 Year Girls Long Jump
Bronny Illsley – 12/13 Girls 100m sprint & 200m sprint
Alannah Gorski –11 Year Girls Long Jump
Imogen Hillier – 11 Year Girls Discus
Luke Arends – 11 Year Boys Discus
Adam Towse – 11 Year Boys Triple Jump
Erika Vodopic – 10 Year Girls Shot Put
 
We also had two outstanding Year 3 athletes who performed at Regional Standard even though they cannot compete in the competition until Year 4 (there are no 9 Year events at the Regionals).
Belle Fletcher – 9 Year Girls 800 meters
Ayden Cooper – 9 Year Boys Discus

 
We would like to thank Mrs Hales and Mrs Tolley for training and entering us in to all of our events and to the parents that were able to come to training and to Landy Field to support us.  A very special thank you to Jodie MacDonald who spent the whole day running the Girls Triple Jump for our school.  It is a very big job and she worked very hard.  Also to Tanya Miller for washing all of our shirts afterwards!
 
Overall it was an amazing day and everyone showed all of our school values which was excellent!

Connewarre District Basketball Championships

8/23/2016

0 Comments

 
On Friday 19th August, some of the Year 5/6 students competed in the Connewarre District Basketball Championships. We entered a Boys and a Girls Team and we played at Bellarine Secondary College against six other schools. It was a great experience and our skills really improved throughout the tournament.
The Boys Team came up against some tough opposition and fought hard in every match. They drew against Drysdale Primary School and while they did not get many wins on the board, they enjoyed the challenge and played some great basketball. The Girls Team defeated both Drysdale Primary (6 v 9) and South Geelong (4 v 13) and showed great progress as the day went on.
Having the opportunity to play sport with our own friends and to spend the day meeting new people and catching up with friends from other schools was thrilling. It was a really great day and we would like to thank Ms Hales and Mrs Tolley for organising the teams. We really appreciate our parents coming along to support us and for scoring our games on the day.
A huge thank you also to Ben Thomas (former Clifton Springs student and son of Michelle in the office) who took on the role of coach for our Boys Team. It is always great to learn new things from people in our community and we are thankful he gave up his time to help us.

Olympic Day Celebrations - Monday 8th August

8/11/2016

0 Comments

 
A big thank you to the families and friends who attended our Olympic Opening Ceremony yesterday morning.  The children thoroughly enjoyed dressing up and parading to the national anthem of their adopted country.  The Clifton Springs Brass Band performance was a huge highlight and we appreciate those students sharing their talent with the wider school community.  While our cauldron flame struggled to survive the Bellarine winds, the torch relay itself was entertaining as Prep and Year 6 students combined to bring the flame of peace to our celebration.
Once Mr Richards had declared the Olympic Celebrations open, students went back inside to participate in a range of art, craft, music, language and PE activities with an Olympic theme. Children rotated around classrooms and worked with a variety of teachers.  Samples of some of the great work completed can be seen on display in the front foyer near the office.
In the afternoon our House Captains and Sports Academy students organised a Mini Olympics for the Prep – Year 2 students. These motivated leaders of our school organised events such as high jump, long jump, hockey, volleyball, sprints, relays, shot put, hammer throw and many more.  Our younger students participated with enthusiasm and really enjoyed the opportunity to experience such a great range of sports. The idea for the Mini Olympics came from our Student Voice group, who play an important and inspiring role within our school.
The students will continue to embrace the rich cultural experience the Olympic Games has to offer over the next 16 days, continuing the great work begun in their Inquiry Learning. They will also be keeping a keen eye on the medal count for their adopted country, adding medals to the chart in the foyer!

On Friday 5th August, ten students from Clifton Springs Primary School competed in the Victorian Primary Schools Golf Championship, over nine modified holes, at Clifton Springs Golf Club. All of the students acquitted themselves, well playing a difficult game made even more so by lightning fast greens.
A big pat on the back to Heather D. and Amy-Lea W. who came 1st and 2nd in the girls event, thus qualifying for the Regional Final at Curlewis Golf Club in November. Heather’s score of 39 is the lowest score ever by a girl in this competition!
A big thankyou to the 8 parents who gave up their time to accompany the students to score and referee. Without their help we couldn’t have participated.
The team and their scores are as follows:
Ruby W. 73, Maddi W. 71, Beau E. 61, Arch F. 54, Emma A.69, Owen B. 73, Heather D.39, Amy-Lea W. 56, Sarah Mac 72 and Angus T. 53.
We also extend a huge thank you to Rob Riley who gave up his own time to coach the team.

On Wednesday the1st June, Ms Hales an Mrs Tolley had the privilge of taking the Clifton Springs Soccer Teams to Ocean Grove to compete in the District Soccer Championships.  We were lucky enough to have the winter sun shining and to have two amazing coaches for the day, Steph Towse (Mixed Team) and Megan Hillier (Girls Team). The Girls Team started the day with a win against South Geelong.  They followed up with some great team play in all of their other matches and were unlucky to have no further wins.
The Mixed Team showed great team spirit, battling it out against some strong opponents.  Despite not winnng a match, they showed excellent growth and improvement in thier skills as the day progressed.  The leadership and school pride that was shown by all CSPS students was wonderful to see and made it a great day for teachers, parents and teachers alike!
A BIG thanks to all of the parents who were able to come along to support the teams during the day, and to Steph and Megan for sharing their knowledge, passion and fabulous coaching skills.  We LOVE your work!

Excitement was in the air as our Year 3 - 6 students headed off to Landy Field on 17/5/16 to participate in our annual Clifton Springs Inter House Athletics Carnival. The weather was kind to us and a wonderful day was had by athletes, spectators and volunteers alike. The day began with an 800m race which was an optional event for all students. It was fabulous to see so many young athletes rise to this challenge and compete to earn points for their team.  During the day students participated in long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, high jump, hurdles, 200m and 100m sprints.  It was rewarding to see so many students give their all in these events with new school records achieved in the following events:

Discus: 
12/13 Yr Boys Owen B - 16 m
11 Yr Boys Luke A - 15 m
11 Yr Girls Imogen H - 15.50 m

Long Jump:
11 Yr Boys Luke A - 3m 85cm
11 Yr Girls Alannah G - 3m 19 cm
10 Yr Boys Goerge P - 3m 10 cm
10 Yr Girls Bella F - 3m 06cm
8/9 Yr Girls Bonnie E - 2m 24cm

High Jump:
12/13 Yr Girls Sarah M and Josie T - 1m 15cm
11 Yr Girls Imogen H has equalled the record at 1m 10cm
8/9 Yr Girls Bonnie Ehas equalled the record at 90cm

100m Sprint:

11 Yr Boys Adam T- 33.93 sec
10 Yr Girls Heather D - 36.07 sec
8/9 Yr Boys Tarkyn D - 40.00 sec

The 800m Run has also been added to our School Records Book, with the following Athletes being entered into this prestigious book:
12/13 Yr Boys James G - 3min 12sec
12/13 Yr Girls Bronny I - 3min 10sec
11 Yr Boys Adam T - 2min 59sec
11 Yr Girls Alannah G - 3min 17sec
10 Yr Boys Cameron F - 3min 21sec
10 Yr Girls Tiana V - 3min 28sec
8/9 Yr Boys Kai J - 3min 42sec
8/9 Yr Girls Belle F - 3min 37sec

The Relay Events are always a highlight and this year they were followed by a 100m handicap dash where teachers, dressed in a wide variety of frivolous garments raced our School Leaders down the straight.  Mr Hanson has claimed first place dressed in his clown pants, jacket and scarf - he will be the one to look out for next year!

The final count saw 4th place go to Dell, 3rd Springs, 2nd Bayshore  and Coriyule were awarded the trophy for finishing in first place. 

The students are to be commended on their excellent display of sportsmanship throughout the day and for the enthusiastic manner in which they cheered on their team mates and peers. A huge thank you too to our wonderful parents and family members who, together with our friends from Deakin and Bellarine Secondary College, raked, measured, timed, scored, recorded and marshalled. Without your support, this day could not happen.
