Dear Colleagues
Welcome back! This is a busy term with lots to do - so please read everything carefully!!
As you may be aware, the Government has changed the date of the early May Bank Holiday from Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May to celebrate VE Day. Consequently the Thanet Netball League have decided to change the date of their tournament at Hartsdown Secondary School from Saturday 9th May to Saturday 2nd May. Further details will obviously follow nearer the time. Also, as previously notified, the Y3/4 Mini Tennis has been changed from Friday 8th May to Friday 22nd May.
Although the deadline has passed, I am still happy to accept Rugby Entry Forms as long as they are returned to me no later than this coming Thursday 27th February.
A final reminder that Cross Country entry forms must be sent to me, garybcrees@gmail.com, no later than Friday 28th February with payment either by cheque, BACS or Paypal by Monday 2nd March 2020.
Please note that schools that fail to meet these deadlines will not be able to take part.
However, Quex Park have warned us that following the recent heavy rains the ground is saturated and it is possible that the event may have to be cancelled! Fingers crossed that this does not happen.
Attached are the entry forms for both the Netball festival on 10th March and the Hi-5 Tournament on 18th March, along with a reminder of the Hi-5 rules. The Hi-5 is a KSG qualifying event. Both events will take place at Dane Court and entries should be sent to Stephanie Selsby, sgo@ursuline.kent.sch.uk no earlier than 7.30am on Thursday 27th February. There are 12 places available for each event and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
This popular and enjoyable event for Year 1/2 children will once again take place at St George's Primary School on Thursday 12th March, 3.45-4.45pm. Further details and an entry form are attached, which should be returned to Cathy Curry, cathycurry@st-georgescfe-thanet.kent.sch.uk no earlier than 7.30am on Thursday 27th February.

As if all of the above were not enough, details and entry forms for both the Y3/4 and Y5/6 Mini Squash tournaments are also attached. Both events will be held as usual at Thanet Squash Club in Broadstairs on Thursday 26th March at 10am and 2.00pm respectively, The Y3/4 event is a KSG qualifier and there are 8 places available at each event, which of course will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Entry forms should be returned to Stephanie , sgo@ursuline.kent.sch.uk , a little later than all of the above, BUT no earlier than 7.30pm on Thursday 5th March.
Although this event was left off the Passport calendar due to Thanet Swim Club being unable to confirm a date, I am pleased to say that this year's Primary Schools' Gala will take place at Hartsdown Leisure Centre on Saturday 16th May. An entry pack is attached which should be read carefully.
I am delighted to announce that the Thanet Under 11 District football team has reached the Kent Premiership Final, where they will be up against the Dartford District. The game will be held at Maidstone United's ground on Friday 27th March, kick off at 7.15pm. Why not go along and support our boys - the more the merrier!
Colleagues who attended our last networking meeting asked if the next one could be a twilight session. They also agreed that it would be good share and support each other with regards to the role of the PE co-ordinator in embedding the subject within the school curriculum, as well as what Ofsted have been looking for recently. Consequently we have arranged what we hope will be a practical and useful session which will be held at St George's Primary School on Monday 16th March, 4-5.30pm. There will be the usual updates and the main session will be led by Stephanie Selsby, our SGO, and Lisa Sparkes, PE Lead at Garlinge Primary. An agenda is attached with further information as to what will be discussed, as well as useful documents to bring with you.
Finally, Stephanie has been able to arrange a FREE Tennis coaching course at the Ursuline College on Tuesday 24th March, 4-6pm. This course is suitable for ALL STAFF who deliver PE, including support staff. Everyone attending will receive a free pack of resources and a £250 voucher towards coaching with an accredited local LTA coach. A flyer with further details is attached for this exceptional local CPD opportunity.
