Footy Colours Day – With the AFL Grand Final just around the corner, we are celebrating with a footy colours day next Thursday 22nd October, so put on your footy colours & help us celebrate the day. There will be some footy activity stations set up during lunchtime for the kids to enjoy & prizes to be won!

 

As we welcomed students back to school this week, it was straight back into business, with students working on their fundamental motor skills. It was so good to have them back where they belong, having fun with their friends, while practising their skills.
