The new date for the Colac Division Golf Tournament is on Friday 15th November at the Colac Golf Club. The day will commence at 9:15am and finish at 1:15pm. All students who were in the earlier tournament that we had to cancel (due to bad weather), please remember that you do not have to pay your $5 again.
If there are any new students in Years 5 and 6 who would like to participate in a modified 9 course game of golf please see Ms Lynch for an entry form. New students who enter the tournament must have an adult to walk around the course with them. The adult responsibilities include safety, etiquette and scoring where necessary.
Please Note: We must have 1 adult to every 3 children, so you may be able to make an arrangement with friends. These helpers must have a current Working With Children Check. Interested students can collect an entry form at the school gym. The cost for the day is $5.00.
For all students who were already enrolled in the golf tournament, can you please complete the PAM permission form again. Thanks for your co-operation.
