Colac Division Year 4 Football Gala Day
Congratulations to our Year 4 students who represented Sacred Heart at the Footy Gala Day at the Central Reserve. They should be incredibly proud of the way they conducted themselves throughout the day. Our students displayed outstanding sportsmanship, encouraged and supported one another, showed respect to their teammates, opponents and umpires, and most importantly, had fun. Win, lose or draw, they represented our school with great enthusiasm. Thanks to the staff and parents for their support in making the day such a positive experience for everyone.
A big thank you also to our Year 6 Boys who umpired on the day. I received many positive compliments from staff from other schools, expressing how positive the umpires were. Well done boys.
