Winter Sports

Last week, our Years 3–6 students participated in their final Winter Sport session for 2026. Throughout the program, students enjoyed the opportunity to experience a variety of exciting activities at local venues, including PCYC Gymnastics, Fitness Perfection, Littlefield Boxing, Indoor Tennis and Pickleball, Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu and Pollet's.

Winter Sport provides students with a fantastic opportunity to develop new skills, challenge themselves, stay active and experience sports and activities they may not otherwise have the chance to try.

We are incredibly fortunate to have the support of our local community and sincerely thank all the businesses and instructors who generously welcomed and accommodated our students throughout the program.

Congratulations also to our students for their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and willingness to embrace new experiences. It was wonderful to see so many students making the most of this valuable opportunity!
