Congratulations boys on your excellent work on Language Perfect.

​

During our prayer at the Headmasters Assembly today, we focused on those who are homeless. 

As this week is homlessness week it was an opportunity to raise awareness of those people who are homeless and the issues that they face. As a community we prayed for them but you may also like to discuss this with your son if you get a chance. 

Congratulations boys for your outstanding work and effort while at Colo. 

A reminder that Summer Sport commences next week with selection trials. Please ensure that your son has the necessary equipment with him as soon as possible. If your son has changed sports from earlier in the year, I suggest that you don’t buy a uniform just yet. He can train in his PE uniform for the moment.

For those boys who have selected rowing, this will be a big change. The boys have received information from the rowing convenor (see below). You may want to take note of the early training times!!!

Congratulations on selecting rowing for your summer sport! The selections start next week. Please see the details below for the selection sessions:

• Please be at the Brother Naughton Theatre on Tuesday morning (15/8/17) at 6:30am for the first session. I will introduce myself and the coaches and the following things will be measured: height, weight, arm span etc.
• The next session is at the boatshed at 6:00am on Thursday morning (17/8/17) for an Erg test. You will need to row as far as you can in 1 minute on an Erg.
• On Saturday (19/8/17) you will need to be at the boatshed at 7:00am for an on water test. (Boys doing Athletics DO NOT need to attend this session)

Any questions relating to rowing please contact the age group convenor, Mr Josh Clark jclark@joeys.org

With the conclusion of the Winter Sports Season almost here, it’s photo time. The boys will need their playing strip for the photos including boots and shin pads (they will not need their tennis racquet). The Winter Tennis boys have their photos tomorrow afternoon and all other sports will have their photos next Wednesday and Thursday. I am yet to receive the order of this but as soon as I know I will pass it on to you and the boys.

Below is a link to some further information relating to the White Elephant Stall. The link also includes a roster to help with the collection of Donations. If you can help out here please do so. I will send more information on this as we near closer to the event.

With only two weekends remaining of the Winter Sports Competition, it is time to start thinking about Summer Sport. The boys have been asked to get their uniforms organised and for the cricketers it is time to dust off the cobwebs and get the old kit out ready for the season ahead. The boys will commence trials/training as early as Monday August  14 following the completion of the Winter Season. There are no set compulsory events on Saturdays throughout the season apart from your sons attendance at his own match.

Bangers and mash along with some fresh vegies for dinner tonight.
