Sport News
Welcome back to Term 2. It was great to get our cross country completed last week. The students did a fantastic job running and showed some great Tally Way spirit. There were some amazing displays of determination, grit and perseverance along with some outstanding sportsmanship on the day.
The winning house will be announced on assembly next week. This is determined through scores on the day, along with the Tally Running Challenge that the students completed in the lead up to cross country.
Our district runners will receive their notes this week about their district race on Wednesday 10 May at Burleigh Soccer Club, Pizzey Park.
