COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Shout out to Louis M (2MH), who had an exciting opportunity to run out with the Melbourne Cobras and Hockey Club Melbourne and play at halftime during a Hockey One League match, through his involvement with La Trobe Uni Hockey Club!

Despite the wet and wild weather, Louis had a fantastic time being part of this special experience. What a great opportunity!

Go Cobras and go La Trobe Gunners!

Congratulations to Emily from 5ND, who achieved her Grey Wolf Award in the Cub Section on Monday night. This is the highest award to receive in the Cub section, the achievement recognises her dedication, perseverance and commitment to developing new skills and taking on challenges.

Well done, Emily!

If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in the newsletter. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.

Thank you,

Jordan Daley
