Congratulations to Poppy F (6BS) for reaching the impressive milestone of playing her 100th game for Eltham Netball Club over the weekend! She’s currently competing in both the U11 and U13 competitions.

Well done, Poppy! 💪🏼

Shout out to Daisy B (2LO), Henry H (5JH), Tully S (5BC), Darcy S (5LB) & Oakley V (5BC) for representing Greenhills PS at last week’s Eltham Lacrosse Club Schools Cup. By all accounts, they performed exceptionally well and had an absolute blast.

It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.

SCHOOL PRODUCTION

Greenhills Primary School is proud to present The Jungle Book, a whole school musical production based on Kipling’s famous classic. Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli must leave the only home they’ve ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther and a free-spirited bear, the young child meets an array of jungle animals. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as their epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.
