Regional Swimming
A big congratulations to both Sam and Joey for their amazing races in the Horsham pool at the Regional Swimming competition last Wednesday. It was a fair drive for the event but the boys effort and results in the pool made it well worth it. Both swam their absolute best and did an incredible job with a medal won for each. Joey finished second and Sam finished first! Well done boys!
Sam will now progress through to the State competition in Melbourne early next term. Wishing him the best of luck!
Thank you to Mr Conlan for driving the duo down.
District Athletics
Well done to our team big District Athletics team who took part in their competition on Monday. It was a terrific day with everyone trying their absolute best and cheering each other on as the day unfolded. As always, our Buninyong spirit is the highlight of any of these events and it certainly didn’t disappoint this time either. A special congratulations to those who have made it through to Division Athletics in Term 3.
Thank you to Ms Connor, Mr G, Georgiou, Lyndal, Nikki and Shona for being our support adults on the excursion. We appreciate the help our community offer us and this is the only reason we are able to provide these opportunities to our students. Thank you!

What to bring to P.E
Just a reminder for all students to bring with them their P.E. shoes, drink bottle (and hats in Term 1+4) to their P.E. classes. A different pair of sports shoes need to be brought to P.E. as per the uniform policy. This allows us to keep safe, look after our gym and make the most of our lessons together. Thanks to everyone who continues to remember these.
