Welcome back to term 4!

This term we have some of our teams heading out to compete in their regional finals for some of the term 1 summer sports. Good luck to the Year 7 and 8 cricket teams, Year 8 table tennis team and Intermediate basketball teams.

Our student coaches will be presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for their efforts at our full school assembly coming up next Thursday 17 October. Well done to all of these students who have committed themselves and put in effort throughout their teams efforts.

Applications for 2020 student coaches in Year 9 to 12 will open up towards the beginning of Headstart. Keep an eye out in your emails and on compass for further information.
