Sports News

Hi all, it’s been a great term and there’s a lot more action to come!

In Term 3, we have been focussed on skipping leading towards our Skipathon (September 2nd). Children need to have their own rope for classes. Some spare ropes will be available. We are raising money this year for goal post pads and an update of sports equipment. Last year we bought pickleball sets which have been a huge hit with the students.

We will also be holding a school Footy Day (September 10th). There will be: a parade, inflatable obstacles, footy games, clinics and class activities.

Grade 5-6 children have had the opportunity to try out for the District Basketball Day. The teams have been training hard and are ready to compete against the 11 other schools in our district. Big thanks to Mr Caine and Mel Cotta who are again coaching the students!
