Australian Olympic Committee Honours Strathmore StudentAt the senior school assembly this week, Year 12 student Jed Snowden received an Olympic flag on behalf of the school. In 2018 Jed represented Australia at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was among 4000 athletes aged 15-18 coming from 206 countries.
Jed played in the Men's Hockey team which performed strongly and finished in 6th place overall. The Olympic flag was presented to Jed by Carrie Smith, a member of the Australian Olympic team who competed in sailing at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Strathmore wishes Jed well in the future as he sets his goals, to hopefully make the senior men’s team and compete at future Olympics. 
Lost PropertyThe gym lost property basket is currently overflowing with shoes and clothing that have been left behind after PE and sport this term.
Please come to the gym before school or during recess or lunchtime before the end of term to look for any items you may have lost. All items will be gone if not claimed by the end of term. Year 8 Boys SoccerThe Year 8 boys Soccer Team played on the 19th June at Fairbairn Park.
The boys played against Sirius College first and won 7-2 in an entertaining game. We then played Essendon Keilor College winning 3-0 with the boys playing some good possession football. That win meant that we topped the group and into the final against Buckley Park. After a slow start with Strathmore struggling to break down their 6 at the back, eventually the goal came and then the boys relaxed to play some excellent football winning the game 4-0. Well done boys! 
Western Metropolitan Region Cross Country Championships29 students made the start line of the WMR 3km cross country championships at Brimbank Park on Thursday.

Ruby Barnetson, Alec Becvinovski, Lav Bujak, Georgia Duggan, Lucy Gardener, Molly Gasper, Jack Kamp, Teagan Kamp, Faith Kassis, Massimo Kelly-Viccaro, Maeve Keogh, Miyu Kuriki, Kaito Nakada, Cameron Naug, Hayley O’Regan, Jazz Ryan, Kira Thomas, Zoe Warren, Arelia Wilson and Alexandra Ziogas. 
Bicycle HelmetsIt is of concern the number of students riding bicycles and scooters to school and not wearing a helmet.
All bike and scooter riders are required to wear a bike helmet in Victoria. Mandatory bicycle helmet laws were introduced in July 1990. This applies when riding:
Police can stop bike and scooter riders and issue a fine or a warning for not wearing an approved bicycle helmet. More information see the VicRoads website. |

The event is now active on Compass, with all year 10 students listed as attendees. Payment is to be made by end of September. Please note, students are being invited to attend the Year 10 formal.

Students who have not met these expectations as part of the Strathmore community may not receive an invitation to attend the formal. Invitations are issued the day before the event.
