After School Footy
Footy Day, Special AFL Coaching Sessions and Term 3 Attendance (below)
Our final day of last term was filled with enjoyment as students and staff got into the spirit of colour and sport. What a diverse splash of footy teams, as well as other sporting teams that our children support. Thanks for allowing your children to participate; they had so much fun and their smiley faces were just beautiful! The AFL school coaches were impressed with the strong level of teamwork our students demonstrated, and the respectful and resilient way that they participated in the sessions, so much that they are coming back this term for some after school events!
The after school footy workshops on Wednesdays are $50 per student. This includes 5 coaching sessions by AFL school coaches and a football for every child who attends. Children will be grouped according to their age group and there will be a female football player to coach our girls.
Session 1 - Wednesday 30th October
Session 2 - Wednesday 6th November
Session 3 - Wednesday 13th November
Session 4 - Wednesday 20th November
Session 5 - Wednesday 27th November
Time for all sessions: 3.45pm to 4.45pm.

Footy Day memories:
Presence is extremely important in life and it begins at school. Congratulations to our students who achieved 100% attendance last term. We are extremely proud of them, and many of our students who also have high levels of attendance. Naturally, we understand and encourage students to stay at home if they are unwell as that's absolutely essential, however this particular award acknowledges those who didn't miss a single day of school!
Here is the link to our Attendance Policy (from our school's website) that is directly aligned with Department of Education expectations.
