Downball Clinics:

This term, the Grade 1-2 students at Trafalgar Primary School have participated in Downball Clinics conducted by Downball Australia, and the excitement and enthusiasm on the school grounds has been palpable. Our young students have eagerly embraced this fast-paced and dynamic sport. The clinics have not only improved their coordination and motor skills but have also encouraged teamwork and friendly competition among the participants. We're proud of the dedication shown by our Grade 1-2 students during these clinics, which will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the schoolyard, while promoting an active lifestyle and a love for this exciting sport.

Golf Clinics:

It's with great delight that we share the success of our recent Golf Clinics, a collaboration between Trafalgar Primary School and Trafalgar Golf Club. These clinics have offered our Grade 3-6 students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of golf from knowledgeable local instructors, teaching them not only the technical aspects but also the values of patience, focus, and respect for the game.

 

Reflecting on this success, we're excited about the upcoming excursions to the Trafalgar Golf Club. These excursions promise to further immerse our students in the world of golf, allowing them to apply the skills they've learned and experience the thrill of playing on our local course. It's an opportunity that will undoubtedly enrich their appreciation for the sport while reinforcing the lessons of patience and respect learned during the clinics.
