Sports News
Sport is officially done for the term, and the year! What a turbulent year 2021 has been. JTCC year 7- 10 finished sports on a good note, with the vast majority of students getting involved, having a go and showing great sportsmanship to each other. We wrap up the sporting term with our modified Sports Assembly on Tuesday 7th December, and Jack Crawford Games on Tuesday 14th December.
Students need to make sure they get parental consent for these events on the Compass Parent Portal.
The rain stayed away again for our final group to attend swimming, with a small contingent of year 8 girls attending their swimming session at Bradbury pool. Everyone involved had a great time with students learning basic swim safety skills and gaining confidence in the water. Well done to the girls on their participation.

Year 8 & 9 Students will be completing their 2022 REC Sport Preferences this week via Google Form.
Students in Years 9 and 10 are given the responsibility to select a sport group / program. Selections should be based on personal interest and physical activity needs. It is important that students select their sport group wisely to ensure they gain as much as possible from the Tuesday Sport Program, which is compulsory.
Recreational Sport options will work on a rotation system, with students given the opportunity to rotate through 8 activities within the year to meet the 200 hours of physical activity that students must complete in stage 5 of High School. Students will be transported via chartered bus or will be located on school grounds.
Once students have selected their sport group and rolls have been finalised on the timetable, the aim is to minimise any changes in 2022 unless absolutely necessary.
Students who trial in MISA must still select a group, as they will participate in this group when they are not competing in MISA.
NB:
- Online selections are based on a ‘first in’ process. Students may still miss out on preferences, and will be allocated to a group randomly. Students who have not given consent for the General Sports Permission Note on COMPASS may not receive their first preference.
- Some external providers will require additional clearances to be completed prior to participation. Failure to do this will result in sport detention.
