FIELD EVENT TRIALS
This term we have been lucky enough to have gained a Sporting Schools Grant for athletics. We will be having Jay Strong come into the school. Jay is a coach for Athletics Australia. He will be teaching all the children different athletics techniques such as running, long jump and high jump. He will be coming on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons so some classes may need to wear their sports uniform on a different day. Please see your class Facebook page and Compass notifications for these changes.
