Sports Update 

SOCCER-FEST  - YEAR 3-6 PE LESSONS

Our Year 3-6’s have been treated to some fun soccer lessons in our PE classes over the past two weeks, with one further week of Football Australia coaching to go.  Coach Grace, all the way from England has supported Mrs Allen and Mrs Thompson is running drills to develop their skill development.  Students have enjoyed the modified games to finish off each session.  These coaching sessions have been provided through the funding we applied for and received through the Sporting Schools grants from the Government.  

Best wishes to our Division XC runners.

Wishing our seven runners all the very best for next Tuesday’s Beachside Division Cross Country event.  We look forward to hearing about how they go.  Many thanks to their parents for taking them to this event at Bald Hill Park.

Best wishes to: Ryder B (Yr 4), Lachie K (Yr 5), Dane G (Yr 6), Evie G (Yr 6), Angus H (Yr 6), Dante S (Yr 6) and Charli C (Yr 6).
