Calling all sewing parents
Our sports bibs (for our junior students) need a little TLC — the elastic needs replacing, and we could use your help. If you’re handy with a needle and thread (or a sewing machine), we’d love your assistance sewing new elastic onto the bibs. Even doing a few bibs would make a big difference! Bibs and elastic can be picked up from the Front office.
Colac Division Hot Shots Competition
Well done to all the students who played in the Colac Division Hot Shots competition last Thursday. Our girl’s team were runners-up on the day and we had one of our boy’s teams as the overall winners. They will now compete in the Greater Western Hot Shots competition on Tuesday 11th November (venue still to be confirmed). A big thank you to the teachers and parents who helped out with coaching, scoring etc and to Principal Xavier Davis at Colac South West Primary School for hosting the event.
