Thank you Community Bank Buninyong:

Our local Community Bank has again shown us incredible generosity by purchasing us 143 new sports tops to boost our current supply. Some of our families would be aware that we have fallen short on occasions at sporting events so this is a wonderful donation to the school.  We should now be able to fully kit out all our sporting teams at our events. 

A big thank you again to the Community Bank!  Please give them a thumbs up as you walk past.

Good luck tennis teams:

This Wednesday, 10 students from Buninyong will represent the school at the Division Tennis. Wishing Ava Q, Lilly C, Hannah V, Iris R, Bailey Y, Callum S, Jeremy R, Quinn G, Xavier C and Roch R all the very best in the competition.

Hockey Clinics:

Some of our Grade 1+2 classes were very fortunate to have Hockey Victoria come in to do some clinics with them last Friday.  Our students were very excited to be using hockey sticks and playing some fun games. Hockey Victoria are currently promoting the Hookin2Hockey program, aimed at younger players.  Please see website or flyer in the community section of this newsletter for further information.

Athletics Day recording:

Over the next 6 weeks, Grade 3-6 students will be participating in athletics activities where we will be recording results (for either heats or as their final result) for our Athletics Day. If your child misses a P.E. session, please touch base with me if they wish to complete this event for results prior to Athletics Day.  We will not be taking any results after the 7th March.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

P.E. Shoes

Thank you to all the families who have diligently remembered to send P.E. shoes to school on their child’s P.E. day.  A reminder that these do not need to be black, just a spare pair to help protect our gym floor and allow for safe participation.
