House Sports
A HUGE THANK YOU to all the parents who helped out at our House Sports last Friday. It was a great day and to have so many helpers, helped share the work load. Special mention to those parents and teachers who arrived early to help set up and stayed back to help pack up. The kids were fantastic, giving it their best shot and supporting and encouraging their peers.
We will be announcing the winners of the Competition at assembly on Monday.
The Waverley Little Athletics Club members were a great supporter of our House Sports, not only with providing the venue, but also in assisting with setting up and packing up. Some parents have been asking me about the club and what they offer. The summer season is now over, but they run a winter cross country program for anyone who may be interested.
