Sports News
Tomorrow, we start our term 3 interschool sports program. All students in grades 5 and 6 will be participating in the following sports: bat tennis, rounders, and soccer. Our first game is away against Macleod College. The soccer and mixed bat tennis teams will be walking to Macleod College. Unfortunately, Macleod doesn’t participate in rounders and girls’ bat tennis. The students in these teams will remain at school for a training session with Ms Zealley. Games begin at 12.15 pm with the girls’ teams playing first.
