Welcome to Ivanhoe EDGE
It has been such a delight to launch Ivanhoe Edge, an innovative program designed to take students even further on their performing arts and/or sports journey. I have been so thrilled with the interest in the program following the pilot in Term 4, 2023.
In 2024 we extended the program to include dance, netball, soccer and volleyball alongside our existing offering of AFL, basketball, personal fitness, swimming, tennis and water polo, and newly offered cricket. I am really looking forward to drama and other performing arts methods being added in the near future. Excitingly, we are also working on the development of Junior Edge, specifically designed for younger students, and starting our offering with Year 2 - 4.
I hope you enjoy this newsletter, which we will be sharing with families each term, to keep you up-to-date with our new offerings, celebrate the achievements of Ivanhoe Edge students, introduce the team and share some of the educational content we provide to our families.
Next term Ivanhoe Edge students can look forward to participating in the Nutrition Workshops with Brittney Andreola, Dietition, as well as a Respiratory Training Sessions with Anna Tetlow, Ivanhoe Edge Dance Coach.
Ivanhoe Edge Cricket
I am super excited to share with you that our cricket sessions will commence early next term with Ivanhoe Edge Cricket Coach, Jai Lemire. If you are interested in taking up some cricket sessions in the off season, to continue with skill development, or to focus on a particular goal, please fill in an Ivanhoe Edge Application Form.

Ivanhoe Edge sessions are now conveniently accessible to parents and students via the Ivanhoe App. You simply click on the co-curricular tile and select Sessions from menu.

Ivanhoe Edge MS Teams
Students are all part of a MS Teams page called Ivanhoe Edge. This page is where I will post information and where students can communicate directly with me, if they need to.
We are half way through Semester 1, I hope everyone has a fabulous break and that those of you joining our AFL Football Holiday Program have a fabulous time. Keep an eye out for more holiday programs being offered in the near future.
