Each week, keen participants meet on Monday lunchtimes on the school oval from 12:50 PM to 1:12 PM, as well as Friday mornings from 8:15 AM to 8:45 AM, and we love seeing parents join in on Fridays too!

We award certificates at assemblies for those who have reached 10 laps, 25 laps, 50 laps, 100 laps, 150 laps. These certificates represent each student’s persistence, discipline and a positive attitude. 

Jogging Club is open to all primary levels and continues to be a great way to start the day or break up the week with some healthy movement and community spirit. New runners are always welcome!

Celebrating a milestone! 

Congratulations to Kai on his 100th game — a true testament to his incredible sportsmanship and unwavering team spirit. Kai consistently shines by embodying our school values of kindness, respect, and responsibility both on and off the field. His landmark game was nothing short of thrilling, with the team pulling off a nail-biting comeback in the final quarter to win by 4 points. Well done, Kai — you’re a great mate and a true champion!
