Colac Golf Tournament
The Colac Division Golf Tournament will take place on Thursday 26th October (this is the correct date) at the Colac Golf Club. This event will commence at 9:15am and finish at approximately 1:15pm. Students will travel by bus to this event. This is open to all students in Year 5 and 6 who enjoy the game of golf and feel like they would enjoy playing a modified 9 course game of golf. Students who enter the competition must have an adult to walk around the course with them. The adult responsibilities include safety, etiquette and scoring where necessary. Please Note: We must have 1 adult to every 3 children, so you may be able to make an arrangement with friends. These helpers must have a current Working With Children Check and have provided details to our office. Interested students can collect the Colac SSV Primary Golf information forms at the school gym. Please register online (which is now open) and return the extra required information back to school a.s.a.p. There is no cost for the golf tournament.

Basketball Round Robin
Thanks to all the boys and girls who trialed for our Sacred Heart basketball teams. The girls were lucky to all receive a game, but unfortunately due to the large number of boys, many missed out on this opportunity. We have decided to run a small round robin basketball tournament with St Mary’s. This will take place on Friday 27th October from 11:45am to 1:15pm. Students will travel by bus to St Mary’s.
