Division High Jumpers

Well done to Penny, Sam, Amity and Ethan for their performances in the re-run of the Division High Jump on Monday.  Unfortunately, the High Jump was not able to be run on the day due to bad weather, so these athletes had to do their event yesterday.  A big shout out to the families who sorted out transport for their child.

Good Luck Cross Country Runners

We have 24 runners representing Buninyong Primary School this Friday at the Division Cross Country event.  Wishing them all a fast and dry run! A call out to any adult who is able to travel on the bus with us, help supervise our team at the event and has a WWCC.  If you are able to assist, please get in touch with Claire Morris.

Afterschool Netball Term 2

Good luck to our afterschool netballers who will take part in their first match on Tuesday!  A special welcome to all our new players who’s first game it will be.  Let’s hope you get off to a great start!  A big thank you to Debbie for coaching the team this term!

P.E. Shoes Reminder

A reminder that students need to bring clean, dry running shoes to P.E. each session.  This is to ensure the safety of the students as well as the condition of the gym.  Please bring them to school in your bags and carry them to P.E. where we will change into them.  Thank you.
