Good luck to our Boys Hot Shots team, who are competing in the Greater Western Hot Shots competition today at the Elliminyt tennis courts. We hope the boys have a fantastic day.
State Track and Field Primary State Championships
Well done to Regan S who competed in the State Track and Field Primary Championships last Thursday at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park. Regan competed in the 12 and Under 200m Sprint and can be now proud to say that she is the 14th fastest 200m runner in the state. What a fantastic achievement. Regan also had the chance to meet three-time Olympian for long jump – Brooke Buschkuehl (nee Stratton).
Colac Division T-20 Cricket Competition
A big thank you to the students, teachers and parents who were involved in the Colac Division T-20 Cricket competition last Thursday at Colac Central Reserve.

We wish the following boys – Felix, Hamish, Thor, Lachie, Beau, Bill, Toby, Harper and Oscar all the best when they compete at the Greater Western T-20 Cricket event on Wednesday 19th November in Ballarat.
