Dear families,

SPORTS CLINIC

On Tuesday, Grade 3 and 4 students took part in an engaging hour-long games clinic. The event was organised by former student Lucy Kinnane, in collaboration with a group of Greater Shepparton Secondary College students. Throughout the session, students enjoyed a variety of sports, including netball, tee-ball, soccer, and European handball.

ILLNESSES

Over the past two weeks, we have experienced several cases of school sores, gastro, COVID, and sore throats. Our cleaning team has responded promptly by increasing their cleaning schedule to maintain a safe environment. We encourage families to keep children home if they are unwell to help prevent the spread of illness.
