SPORT REPORT TERM 2
What a successful and eventful beginning to term 2! Last week I was lucky enough to escort 87 students to the SSV Southern Peninsula District Athletics Championships at Ballam Park. The effort, support for each other, and participation from all our students was outstanding, I’m so proud to be a staff member at Mount Eliza SC. The year 7 girls won all field and running events in their age group except for two in which they came 2nd and 4th.
