Hockey Victoria School Roadshow
It was a fantastic experience having Hockey Victoria recently attend our school as part of their roadshow program. Our students learnt the skills of hockey through exciting game-based activities in an engaging, fun and safe environment. While the roadshow is over, students can continue their hockey journey by joining a local Hookin2Hockey program at www.hookin2hockey.com.au. With programs starting soon now is the perfect chance to get out on the pitch. Hookin2Hockey will allow children to expand on the skills they recently learnt at school, develop fundamental motor skills while making friends and having fun!
Come and Try Day with Sunraysia Hockey Association – Saturday 18th February at the Old Aerodrome Ovals. To register go to www.hockey.org.au/play/hookin2hockey
