Socceroos watch party
When: Friday 26 June
As a special treat on the last day of term, our students are able to watch the Socceroos play in the World Cup. Students are encouraged to come to school wearing either:
- green and gold 🟡🟢
- the national team colours of another nation
- or a soccer jersey.
The match will be streamed in classrooms from 12:00pm and is expected to run until approximately 1:50/2:00pm.
Regional Cross Country
Last Wednesday, Hanna represented Port Melbourne Primary School at the Regional Cross Country Championships in Hastings as the school’s only representative. Competing against some of the Southern Region’s strongest runners, many of whom are ranked among Victoria’s top cross-country athletes, Hanna delivered a personal best performance. While she narrowly missed qualifying for the State Championships, she should be incredibly proud of her determination and achievement.
Diving School Sport Australia National Championships
Hanna’s sporting success extends well beyond cross country. She has recently qualified to represent Victoria at the School Sport Australia National Diving Championships next term. Excitingly, the event will be held at MSAC in Melbourne, and Hanna would love the support of PMPS students, staff and families. Her platform competition takes place on Sunday 26 July at 9:15am.
SSV All Schools Mountain Bike Series
Hanna has also made an outstanding start to the SSV All Schools Mountain Bike Series, winning both of her opening races in Ballarat and at Lysterfield Mountain Bike Park. With several events still to come, she is looking forward to continuing her strong season.
We are incredibly proud of Hanna and her outstanding achievements across multiple sporting disciplines!
