CITY DISTRICT & METROPOLITAN NORTH SWIMMING
On Wednesday 12th February, the Milton SS Swimming team competed at Lawnton Pool in the City District School Swimming Championships. With a team of thirty-five swimmers competing against thirty-three other schools, we finished equal 1st overall in the A school’s division with a total of 954.50 points with Wilston SS. Against every school in City District we finished 3rd overall on percentage! An awesome team performance and result. Well done kids!
All the best to any swimmers who end up qualifying for the Met North team after the unfortunately cancellation of the Met North Swimming Trails who will then swim at the Queensland State School Sport Swimming Championships later in March.

Congratulations to the following students who have all attended district sports trials over the past few weeks and been selected into various City District Sports teams.
These students will now attend Met North Sport Championships as part of City District teams in their selected sports. If they perform well for their teams, and are selected into the regional Met North School Sport teams, they will then attend championships at a state level. All the very best kids!

MILTON STATE SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY
Tuesday 25th March, 9am – 1pm
In just under two weeks’ time on Tuesday 25th March, week nine, we hold our Milton SS Cross Country event for all year levels (Prep – Year 6) from 9am – 1pm. Here’s hoping for good weather this year and a nice cool morning for the run.
Students can come dressed in their house shirts and colours, Anderson (Red), Laver (Blue) and Turnbull (Gold/Yellow) and wear their house shorts and tights. If you’d like to purchase school house shirt, shorts or tights, the uniform shop will be open Tuesday’s and Friday’s from 8:30am – 9:30am.
Please remember that all students should apply sunscreen for the morning as well and if they own a good running cap or visor, they are allowed to run in this, along with having their school hats for the school’s day too. A reminder to bring a decent morning tea and lunch as well and students MUST remember their own water bottles!
An important reminder that any students requiring asthma medication must remember their relievers on the day and bring them down with class teachers to the course in a labelled bag as well please to be placed at the first aid table.
Our wet weather day is set for Thursday 3rd April, week ten, if required.
Course maps and selection information for 9 years – 12 years students (Born 2016 – 2013) is already up on the PE notice board under cover in from the Fig Tree court yard too if you’d like to have a look.
