Massive shout out to all students who represented themselves and Greenhills PS at the Nillumbik Division Cross Country Championships. All students, regardless of the results attained, should be extremely proud of their efforts - as reaching this level of competition is an outstanding achievement in itself.

Special mention to Cooper B (6BS), Heidi K (5SM), Archie G (5SM) and Annabelle M (4IH) who were successful in progressing through to the NMR Cross Country Championships, which will be held next week.

COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Congratulations to Rhyda H (1KO) who played in the halftime Auskick game during the Essendon Bombers and North Melbourne Kangaroos match. Not only did he love the experience, but he also kicked two goals to add to an already awesome evening.

Well done, Rhyda!

If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.

Thank you,

Jordan Daley
