State Lawn Bowls Championships
The State Lawn Bowls Championships will take place this Wednesday 28th April at ‘Club Sunbury’ (49 Riddell Road, Sunbury). The bus will leave from the Sacred Heart gym carpark at 7.00 am. Children need to wear their sports uniform and make sure they also have warm clothes for the day e.g. tracksuit pants, an extra hoodie etc. Children may also bring along some money to purchase McDonalds on our way home. We wish the lawn bowls team all the best. Parents please complete the permission form on PAM.
A big thank you to the Colac Bowling Club (Lake Bowling Club) who are lending us bowls for the day. Our order has not arrived in time. We are very grateful to Jane Donovan for her generosity because bowls sets are very expensive.
Golf Coaching Sessions
Haydn Garner is offering golf lessons in Term 2 at the Colac Golf Club. Do not hesitate to ask if you need more information.
The Colac Primary Schools Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday 20th May at the Colac Golf Club. A note will go home to qualifiers at the end of this week. Parents/guardians need to read the information carefully because there is a lot of rules involved in this tournament (especially safety rules).
Swimming Lessons
Just a reminder that our swimming program has started and will continue for the rest of the term for all children from Years 1 – 4. This is taking place at Heather’s Swim School (Main Street, Elliminyt). On their designated day, children will need to bring along their towel, bathers, goggles – all named and labelled – in a separate bag.
A big thank you to those parents who have offered to assist with the swimming program. Please be at school 20 minutes before the class’s designated swimming time. Please make sure our office staff have a copy of your Working With Children Check (WWCC).
