SPORT INFORMATION ON COMPASS
Just a reminder that the majority of sporting opportunities are only on the Compass Portal and hence, we strongly recommend that you check your Compass Portal on a regular basis.
NETBALL
Dear Netball Families,
We will have our St Nicholas Netball Club Presentation on Friday 7th November. I am happy to supervise students in the afternoon from 3-4pm. The club will provide Zooper Doopers for students while they wait for parents. We will begin the presentation at 3:45pm and hopefully conclude at 4pm. It will be held in the Undercroft.
Basically, Kinder skills get a lolly bag and the coaches for the teams that play present a few trophies to their players.
If you would like to stay behind for the St Nicholas Netball Club AGM, you can follow me to Year 3 where it will be held. From previous years, it should only be 15 minutes.
Thanks for your support!
