Athletics
Unfortunately the scheduled athletics carnival was washed.
After this cancellation we have now arranged a new date on Wednesday 24 August. However, this event will be for competitors only and will involve a small number of staff. The event will be held at the new Melton Athletics Track.
All classes will run as normal on this day, with the likelihood of a few students missing from classes. VCE classes will run as normal with only VCE students who are up to date with work being allowed to participate. We would also expect any Yr7-12 students involved to catch up on any work missed.
