State Hot Shots
Congratulations to the students who competed in the State Hot Shots Tennis Championships last week at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club in Melbourne. Kooyong is definitely a very special place, with not only fantastic tennis courts, but the buildings and gardens are amazing.
Out two teams did very well, with the girls coming 5th and the boys 6th in the state overall. This is an amazing achievement for a small country town.
A big thank you to Jemma Gibson and Lisa Egan for all their help on the day.
