JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 3
Tuesday was all systems go with Sport at JTCC for 2022. Whilst there were some COVID guidelines in place, we saw a relatively normal return to sport for Term 1. MISA trials were held, 9/10 REC sport started, Year 8 made the trek down to Thomas Acres and our new Year 7 students partook in house vs. house competition. MISA teams are being finalised this week, with Round 1 starting next Tuesday. Congratulations to those students who were successful. Those students who missed out, there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC, keep an eye out on the Sport Bulletin Board in the A-block corridor and on the Compass Newsfeed.
The behaviour and participation from all was great, with everyone embracing the directive for this year to ‘be like Barty’. A small number of students still need to have consent given on the ‘General Sport Permission Note’. Please ring the school if you have issues logging in or accessing Events.



Congratulations
The next few weeks will see John Therry participate in the Diocesan Boys and Girls Touch Football, Tennis Teams event and the Diocesan Swimming carnival. Team meetings, trials and training will be held soon, students are encouraged to read the Compass Newsfeed. Students who have been selected in teams already for Tennis and Boys Touch Football should have received their permission notes on Compass. No permission = no participation.
