Footy Fun Day
What a great way to finish term 3 with a Footy Fun day. It was exciting to see all the students and staff dressed in their footy team colours and footy jumpers and scarfs. The Teacher vs Grade 6 students Footy Match was very entertaining to watch and how competitive not only the students but also the adults who participated in the match. A BIG THANK YOU to our P & F for organising a great Footy FUN LUNCH Hot Dog or Veggie Sausage with a drink. It is amazing how generous our parent community is with supporting school events and the time they give to ensure the students enjoy their day. GOOD LUCK to the Footy AFL Preliminary Finalists and it has been a great year of footy.
