Congratulations to the three teams that have qualified for the Greater Western Regional Lawn Bowls Tournament. This will take place on the 4th September at the Sebastopol Bowling Club.
Football Gala Day
This Thursday 2nd May, a number of the Year 3/4 students will travel to Colac Central Reserve to play in the Football Gala Day. This is a modified AFL game, that consists of 9 players on a smaller football field.
We are also grateful to a number of our Year 5 and 6 boys who are happy to direct and umpire these young people who are participating in the Football Gala Day.
(Please complete Permission details on PAM)
More information will be sent home for the students who have volunteered to umpire.
Cross Country
As part of the Physical Education Program, we are currently running our Cross Country event. Selected students will travel to the Colac Golf Club on Thursday 9th May to compete in the Colac Division Cross Country.
(Permissions and more details will be forwarded through PAM at a later date)
Sewing Skills
Is there any wonderful parents/guardians/grandparents with sewing ability that can replace the elastic on a number of our netball bibs? The ‘Bibs’ themselves are in good condition, however the elastic is either ripped, torn etc.
The school will supply the elastic for those talented parents/guardians/grandparents that could help fix these sets of netball bib.
Netball Bib Sets will be left at front office in sets (with required elastic) for those who have talented sewing skills.
I am very grateful for your help.
