(4) Ultimate frisbee

Congratulations to Louisa Inglese, Olivia Spence, Alice McCormick, Livv Gardeniers, Kate Wicks, Amy Wicks and Aiden Nash who have been selected to represent Victoria at the Ultimate Frisbee National Championships on the Gold Coast in the next school holidays. This is an outstanding achievement for our students who play frisbee only once a week at EISM Sport. 

(5) EISM reminders

For EISM competition, the following points are important to remember:

• students should check the sport plans which are on the Doyle Centre window and Google Classroom pages at the beginning of every week

• if a student is unable to play in their team in a particular week, they need to let their coach know as early as possible

• students should be on time to the Doyle Centre on their sport day. All EISM teams need to leave at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play

• uniforms need to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games — hockey, soccer and football players must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre to purchase for $10) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
