Winter PSSA Gala Day No.1

Date: 23 May
Time: 9:00 AM-2:55 PM
Location: Various sporting fields

PSSA Gala Day No.1 (selected students only) As part of the PDHPE syllabus, students will learn how to maintain a happy and active lifestyle. By allowing your child to attend the primary Gala Day they gain the opportunity to enjoy sports and live a healthy lifestyle. PSSA (Primary Schools Sports Association) organises Gala days to allow students to compete against local schools. During Terms 2 & 3, schools have the opportunity to participate in four (4) Gala days. They are full days commencing at approximately 10:00 am and concluding at approximately 2:00 pm. During the day students play a total of three/four games. See the Information sheet below. As a condition of being selected for a Gala Day team, you and your child must sign a contract in order to be accepted into the team - see Gala day contract below. Your child will be participating in training sessions held at Thomas Acres Reserve. Due to this, students will be required to walk to and from the Thomas Acres Reserve during Friday sport sessions. There will be four (4) winter gala days in total--two (2) in Term 2 and two (2) in Term 3. The full cost to participate in all four (4) is $50, but to make things easier, we're only asking for $12.50 per gala day. This way, if a day is cancelled due to weather, you won't be paying for something that doesn't go ahead. However, Hockey is FREE as students will walk to and from the venue (Thomas Acres Reserve, Ambarvale) Winter Gala Days are listed below: Gala No.1 ($12.50) - Friday, 23 May 2025 (Term 2 - Week 4) Gala No.2 ($12.50) - Friday, 20 June 2025 (Term 2 - Week 8) Gala No.3 ($12.50) - Friday, 15 August 2025 (Term 3 - Week 4) Gala No.4 ($12.50) - Friday, 12 September 2025 (Term 3 - Week 8) If a Gala Day is cancelled due to weather or other unexpected events, it won't be rescheduled. We need to give bus companies at least 24 hours' notice to cancel, or we still have to pay for the buses. Because of this, we may not be able to offer a credit. Thanks for your understanding! Concussion acknowledgement I acknowledge that if my child has sustained a concussion in the lead-up to the event, I must provide medical clearance to the school or the supervising teacher prior to competition commencing. I understand that if my child sustains a concussion or suspected concussion during a NSW Department of Education sporting event, they will be removed from competition until medical clearance is provided to the supervising teacher.
