A big thank you to Ascot Park Vermont Tennis Club!

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Mike and Robyn from the Ascot Park Vermont Tennis Club (Kenny Coaching) for their generous donation to our school.

Mike and Robyn kindly donated over 200 tennis balls, a trolley, a collection of junior racquets and tennis nets. This fantastic contribution will greatly support our Physical Education program and provide valuable opportunities for students to develop their tennis skills and enjoy being active.

We truly appreciate their support of our school community and their commitment to encouraging young people to participate in sport. If any families are interested in tennis opportunities outside of school, we encourage you to connect with the Ascot Park Vermont Tennis Club. The club offers coaching for both juniors and seniors in winter and summer months as part of the Glenelg Districts Tennis Association (GDTA).

The Club also runs social tennis during the week under lights throughout the year and the courts are also available for hire through Tennis Australia's Book a Court program.

Coaching is offered through Robyn Kenny, a fully accredited ATPCA Advanced Level 2 tennis coach.
