Aussie Hoops community program

The Aussie Hoops program was a huge success! Well done to all the students who took part in the Basketball sessions after school on Monday and Wednesday nights. Thank you to all the parents/guardians for your support. The students dribbling and shooting skills certainly improved across the program.

Each student received a FREE basketball, top and stickers
