Thanet Passport Update - 11

Dear Colleagues

CROSS COUNTRY

It was fantastic to see so many runners taking part in the Cross Country last Saturday. Although there were a few no-shows, more than 850 runners crossed the finishing line over the 8 races. The finishing times for every runner can be found by visiting the East Kent Coaching website, www.eastkentcoaching.com/primary.html .

If you have any good photos of the event that we are allowed to publish on both the Passport and East Kent Coaching websites then do please send them to me.


PE STAFF NETWORKING MEETING

I am delighted to announce that our next Networking Meeting for teachers and sports coaches will take place at the new Clip 'n Climb Centre which will be opening shortly at Westwood Retail Park. The date for your diary is Friday 29th April, 1-4pm. For those that have never attended in the past, these meetings are an ideal opportunity to share experiences with like-minded colleagues, catch up on new initiatives and forthcoming events and ask as many questions as you like! In addition, on this occasion you will have the opportunity to have a tour of the facilities at this new venture in Thanet and even have a go if you are brave enough!! I certainly will be. There is no charge for Passport Schools and refreshments are provided. Don't forget that cover for your attendance counts as eligible expenditure from your PE and Sports Premium. 

Please let me know if you will be attending as soon as possible.


Y1/2, Y3/4 and Y5/6 MINI SQUASH TOURNAMENTS

Attached are the entry forms for all 3 Mini-Squash tournaments which are due to take place at Thanet Squash Club in Broadstairs. The Y1/2 event is at 4pm on Wednesday 23rd March, followed the next day by the Y3/4 competition in the morning and the Y5/6 tournament in the afternoon of Thursday 24th March. There is a limit of 8 places for each event and entries should be sent to Stephanie Selsby (NOT ME!), sgo@ursuline.kent.sch.uk , no earlier than 7.30am Thursday 10th March. Entries close at midnight on Monday 14th March 2022.


Y2 FOOTBALL FESTIVAL

Also attached is a flyer inviting you to enter our second Y2 Football Festival of the year at Margate FC on Thursday 21st April, 3.45-5.30pm. This is a fun event for both boys and girls and everyone gets a medal! There is no limit on numbers and schools may bring 2 squads (max 9 in a squad) if they wish. Entries should be sent to me, garybcrees@gmail.com , no later than Friday 25th March.


CUP FINALS

I am pleased to say that both the Les Riggs and Consolation Cup Finals this year will be held on the main pitch at Margate FC. This is particularly appropriate given that Les Riggs, a former manager of Margate FC, passed away last year. Anyone is welcome to attend on Monday 14th March, with both finals being played simultaneously - Kick off at 4.15pm.  


THANET NETBALL TOURNAMENT

Sadly the Thanet Netball Tournament organised by the Thanet Netball League, scheduled for Saturday 7th May, will not now take place. This is due to the courts at Hartsdown School being withdrawn and no suitable replacement being available. However, Linda and her Committee are hopeful of finding a venue for next year - so watch this space!


CEREBRAL PALSY FOOTBALL

Finally, if you have any children at your school, or indeed if you know any young people under the age of 16 with cerebral palsy, then please pass on the information contained in the attached flyer. Football sessions are being run at Baypoint for youngsters from 6 to 16, both ambulant and frame users, every Saturday from 26th March. This is an amazing opportunity which is not only local, but is also FREE for the first 4 sessions!


Best Wishes
