Primary Hockey Roadshow

It was a fantastic experience having Hockey Victoria recently attend our school as part of their roadshow program. Our students learnt the skills of hockey through exciting game-based activities in an engaging, fun and safe environment. 

While the roadshow is over, students can continue their hockey journey by joining a local Hookin2Hockey program at www.hookin2hockey.com.au 

With programs starting soon now is the perfect chance to get out on the pitch. Hookin2Hockey will allow children to expand on the skills they recently learnt at school, develop fundamental motor skills while making friends and having fun!

Inter-house Swimming Sports 2025

Friday 21st February is the Inter-House Swimming Sports.  Students must have permission to go on Compass by the end of Thursday 20th February.  If they don't have permission they must stay home as all staff will be attending the swimming sports.

Don't forget your bathers and towels and a change of clothes.
