PE at Marlborough
Heathmont Baseball Club
A new exciting game of 6 a side baseball is going to be played on a Saturday morning for the winter season. We are hoping to have one or more Marlborough PS teams. The games are being played at Heathmont Baseball Club, Waterloo Street.
John Weichard from Heathmont Club has volunteered his time to demonstrate the game to our 5/6 students. The game caters for junior students and all abilities. The Grade 5/6's appeared to enjoy the modified game. The grade 3/4s have also been playing the game during PE lessons and enjoyed the new game. Please see attached flyer on our Community page and contact the club if you are interested.

The Auskick clinics are being played Friday evenings at Jubilee Park, Greenwood Avenue (near Aquanation).
