Cricket Incursions a Big Hit! Exclusive School Discount Inside!
Over two days, our Year 2 and Year 3/4 students thoroughly enjoyed participating in exciting Cricket Incursion sessions. Students developed their batting, bowling, fielding and teamwork skills through a range of fun, engaging activities and games.
It was wonderful to see so many students participating with enthusiasm, building confidence and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship as they challenged themselves and encouraged their classmates. We hope the experience has inspired many students to continue enjoying the game of cricket.
For families wishing to continue their child's cricket journey, Cricket Star Academy offers weekly programs held here at our school. Click the links below to learn more:

Families from our school can use the exclusive discount code vic18cricketstar326 when registering before 2 August to receive 20% off the term fees.
We encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity for their children to continue developing their skills in a fun, supportive environment.
