COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
Massive shoutout to Arlo C (5ND) who trialled for Team Vic on Monday 1st September at Tom Kelly Athletics Track. Arlo competed in the High Jump, tying for 2nd place with an impressive jump of 1.46m — a huge 7cm personal best!
Well done, Arlo! 💪🏼
If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.
GREENILLS PS FOOTY DAY
As announced a couple of weeks ago, Francesca T (6LB) has been selected for the Team Vic 12 Years & Under Girls Football (Soccer) team! She will represent Team Vic at the School Sport Australia Championships in Ballarat from Saturday 25th October to Thursday 30th October 2025. This is an incredible achievement — Francesca earned her place through a rigorous four-stage trial process, a true testament to not only her talent but also her grit and determination.
Participation in Team Vic is self-funded, with costs for each student reaching into the thousands. This includes host state and administrative levies, uniforms, training and team equipment, transport, accommodation, and meals.
To help support the family with raising funds, we will be holding our annual Footy Day on Friday 19th September. For a gold coin donation, students can come dressed in their team’s colours. Throughout the day, fun footy rotations will be run by some of our Year 6 Leaders.
Thank you,
Jordan Daley
