Yesterday our students participated in the House Athletics Day. I acknowledge Mrs Yon and Mrs White for their organisation of the event. I also thank the many parents who helped the event run so smoothly. For the first time we ran the event at school and staff, parents and students reported back that this decision was a positive one. Parents were able to easily drop in and watch their child/children participate in various events. Our student leaders were tasked with the responsibility of collecting information for the video that has been produced as a celebration of the day. The link is below:
We congratulate our School Captain, Ruby who swam more than 30 kilometres to raise $1,300 for the Starlight Foundation.
Kind regards,
Anne Babich
