Grace Valele, Year 10, has been selected in the School Sport Victoria State 15yrs and under Netball team. It is a wonderful achievement to be selected in such a popular sport. She competes in the School Sport Australia National Championships in Adelaide in December as part of the Pacific Schools Games. State representation is not a cheap exercise and Grace would appreciate any help.
Channel 7 News Story
Recently Channel 7 news did a feature of the Humphries family – Dylan (Yr. 11), Kelly (Yr. 12 2yrs ago), Luke (Yr. 12 last yr) and their dad, Peter. They all umpire AFL every weekend at senior level and last week 3 of them umpired in the one game with Dylan doing his first senior game. It was a wonderful story about the family and how much the love the activity and doing something together.
