They are finalising their preparation and are looking forward to putting their skills to the test. Students and coaches have been very committed to their preparation all year! Best of luck from the school community for a great tournament. We know it is of a very high standard competition.

Year 9 Gala Day

The Year 9 Gala Day is being held on Tuesday 11th August at the South Pine Sporting Complex with over 100 students participating in five different sports. We have over 100 year 9 students signed up for the term 3 event.
