Hawthorn Visit:
We’re a happy Junior team at Croydon Hills…..
Last Thursday the year 1’s and 2’s were treated to a special visit from some AFL Hawthorn Football players. The players spoke a little about themselves and our fabulous Juniors were able to ask them some questions as well as receive some signatures and photos. We would like to thank the “AFL play schools” initiative for this free player appearance event.
