INTERSCHOOL SPORT
The Summer Interschool Sport Program will commence from Friday 21st February 2025. Permission and payment is due by Friday 14th February. NO LATE ACCEPTANCES.
COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
GREAT to see one of our past leaders thriving and taking on new challenges in 2025. Last year’s Bunjil House Captain, Isla T, has taken on the role of coach for our Under 8 Boys at Greenhills Beavers.
Well done and thank you, Isla! Community sport doesn’t happen without volunteers like you.
If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.
Thank you,
Jordan Daley
