Colac Division T20 Cricket
Good luck to the students who will be representing Sacred Heart in the Colac Division T20 Cricket. This will be held at the Central Reserve on Friday 3rd November. Students will travel by bus to this event. They will need to wear their sports uniform and school hat. Unfortunately they will not be able to have a lunch order on this day because it is an ‘all day event’. Due to the large number of teams that we have entered, we do need assistance from parents (or maybe you have Trinity student) that can help out on the day.
