NRL Lessons
In sports classes last week, our Years 4, 5 and 6 classes were lucky enough to have NRL coach Tere Rask come and teach the students the game of NRL. The classes had a great time learning some new skills. We are hoping to get Tere back again to teach our junior classes. This was a part of the Sporting Schools Program.
Colac Division Soccer
Good luck to the students who are representing Sacred Heart in the Colac Division Soccer event, this Friday 13th June at Colac Central Reserve/Hockey Field. Unfortunately this event does clash with the Year 5 Sovereign Hill Camp, so the following Year 6 students will make up our soccer team – Thor Medley, Lachie Sheppard, Saxon Finn, Tjay Moynihan, Benji Denti, Dusty McCrimmon, Jeremiah Scott, Jericho Scott, Benji Keast, Beau Perkins, Emmanuel Mathoat, Jock Melville, Zac Peters and Chase Hickey.
We hope they all have a great day.
