Our Lady Help Of Christians School Cross Country Event 

Our School Cross Country event will be held on March 21st, with a back up day of March 28th incase of bad weather. 

If there are any parents or carers keen to volunteer for this event that would be awesome! These events always need some extra support to help them run smoothly.  

If you are interested in helping, please let the office or Mr Henson know you are keen. The event will run from 8:30am – 11:45am. The different jobs we need volunteers for are below: 

• Standing at points around the track
• Handing out place cards on finish line
• Handing out ribbons 

Any volunteers will need to complete the following training to be able to help. The link is below:

Trinity Coast Central Sports District (TCC) 

Below is a calendar displaying the dates for TCC trials throughout the year. Please note that at times dates/venues of trials can change and at times we get information very late regarding the trial. When information arrives on each trial, I will then give the information out to the students that have signed up for that sporting trial. Parents/carers will then need to fill out a ‘Peninsula Permission Details Booklet’ and get it signed by the principal to take to the trial. The link for this form will be found on the trial information sheet. 

The ages for which students can participate in the trials is displayed with the relevant sport. Students ages are taken from the last day of this year. For example, if your child is 11 years old on 31/12/2025 then they are in the 11-year-old age group.  

These trials are not a come and try session, instead they are for students who are at an elite level and have a lot of experience at that chosen sport. The aim of these TCC trials is to gain selection for a peninsula team. Students who put their name down to trial need to have experience playing for a club in that sport. Each year the feedback from TCC officials was that at times schools were sending to many students and students not up to the skill level required. Therefore, if there is a sport with a lot of students keen to trial for then OLHOC will hold its own trial before selecting students to take part at the TCC trial. This will help the TCC official by not sending too many students and only sending students who have a high level of skill.  

This year, Mr Henson will not be making announcements for students to meet him at morning tea and lunch time who are interested in trialling for the different TCC sports. It will be the student’s responsibility to look at the Trinity Coast Central Sport Calendar which will be located on the PE notice board in the hall and let Mr Henson know each term what sport they would like to trial for in that term. Mr Henson will then put their name down for that trial and give them the information form for that trial when the school receives it.
