Colac Division Athletics Years 4 - 6
Congratulations to all the students who participated in the Colac Division Athletics last Thursday at the Central Reserve. Every student that competed was seen to be trying their best. I was very proud of them all. Thanks to the Sacred Heart staff and parents who worked at the sports, without their support these events would not be able to go ahead. A big thank you to race starter Lenny Perkins who worked tirelessly from 7:00am to the end of the day. Thanks also to Colac Secondary students who helped on the day, they were a great support.
Thanks to all the schools that are a part of the Colac Division that made the day so successful. The students, staff and parents of all the schools involved were a great help on the day. We are very lucky to be in such a supportive community.
