State Championships

Our very own Mia Snowball has been selected for State Championships in the 100m and 200m events later in the year. Mia and a group of her classmates from Inclusive Education (Red room) were selected to qualify at the Regional primary track & field in Melbourne and Mia was very successful winning both events.

Congratulations to Mia for making it to State.

ADF Medallion.

A follow up for all who are interested in nominating their child for the ADF child of the medallion award.

All ADF children can receive a medallion if they are between the ages 3-18 years, so there is no competition running.

What you need to do- parents, log into the relevant Eventbrite site and register an interest for your child(ren) to receive a medallion. All children and parents registered will then be invited to a presentation event that will be set for each of the areas where children will be presented with their medallions. No dates or times have been set yet, as we are waiting for an indication of demand. Our thinking is to have the presentations prior to Remembrance Day so the children can proudly wear their medallions alongside mum or dad.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Eventbrite link on for the Child of the ADF medallion.
