Afterschool Netball Opportunity:

Buninyong Primary School is planning on entering on team/s into the Darroch Afterschool Netball Competition at Llanberris Netball Stadium. These will be run on Tuesday afternoons (game times expected to be 4pm, 5pm and 6pm) in Term 2 (commencing 23 April, 2024) and is a participation competition only (i.e. there are no finals). The competition will run for nine weeks. Lunchtime training sessions may run if there is an adult available.

Grade 3-6 students (boys and girls) interested in joining a team will need to register via Compass and make payment before 27 March, 2024. Please note that we will endeavour to include all interested students and preferred days. Teams will be decided by Claire Morris and will be based around the groups of Grade 3/4 and Grade 5/6.

The cost is $50 (+ VNA if required) and will need to be paid upon registration (27 March, 2024). A refund will be given to those not placed in a team. Uniform will be provided this year and the hire of these is included in the cost. Please note that own transport to and from games will be required each week. This will not be a staffed event and we will be relying on parental assistance at the game to coach and score. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in filling the coaching/scorers roll. N.B. teams will not be entered without a designated coach.

Please contact Claire Morris if you have any further questions.

Interhouse Cross Country:

On 15 March, 2024, the whole school will take part in the Interhouse Cross Country. It is an exciting day where students have the opportunity to earn points for their house. Last year, Inglis (green) took the title off Scott. Who will win the shield this year??

A big thank you to all our adults who have offered to help us out with marshalling on the day. This event was not able to run unless we were able to get all our stations covered, so from all of our school, thank you for your time and energy!

3-6 Athletics

Thanks to all of those that were able to come along to support the students or help out on the day. It certainly was a great day all round. See attached a selection of photos taken by Tess, Pep, Charlie and Noah from the Grade 6 Photography Team.
