PSSA summer gala day No.4

PSSA Gala Day No.4 (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. Each term, schools have the opportunity to participate in three (3) 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. 

Your child's signed notes and first payment ($12.50) are due to the office no later than Wednesday, 8 March 2024.  The total cost for Summer PSSA gala day is $37.50.  However, pull payment upfront is optional.  If chosing to pay for each gala day individually, please ensure payment of $12.50 is paid prior to each gala day.
