Only one week to go!  Please click here to view the full program for the day.  Don’t forget to give consent and make payment via Compass prior to the event. Oh, and don’t forget to get your house colour outfit ready for the day too!

Well done swimmers:

 A massive well done to Mila S, Sophie O, Claire B, Amber M, Kaiya M, Nick B, Jude H and Harper F who competed for the school on Friday at the Division Swimming.  We are very proud of you all, especially those whose first event it was.  Everyone managed their nerves and performed so amazingly in the water and some P.B.s were achieved. 

 

Congratulations to Nick and Claire who have progressed through to the Regionals on 14 March!

 

A big shout out to all the adults who came to support and cheer us all on.  You all know how to make our supporters stand awesome (especially with lemonade icy poles)!  A special mention to Debbie who was our designated 'staff member' for the day and to Dean for being our pack horse, gazebo setter-up-erer and general 'go-to' guy.  Thank you!  Congratulations to all the very best in the competition!

Good luck lawn bowlers:

Wishing our lawn bowls teams all the very best in their competition on Wednesday!  We have a proud history with our bowls teams so we look forward to hearing how you go.  A special shout out to the Buninyong Bowls Club for again being fantastic in their support and guidance through the training and competition.

Dunk Tank:

 

Make sure you keep an eye out for the DUNK TANK at the fete!  We have an all-stars line up who challenge you to see if you can dunk them.  Click here to find out who is on when and come along to take aim!!

Athletics Day recording:

Until our Athletics Day, Grade 3-6 students will be participating in athletics activities where we will be recording results (for either heats or as their final result) for our Athletics Day.  If your child misses a P.E. session, please touch base with me if they wish to complete this event for results prior to Athletics Day.  We will not be taking any results after the 7th March. Please let me know if you have any questions.

P.E. Shoes

Thank you to all the families who have diligently remembered to send P.E. shoes to school on their child’s P.E. day.  A reminder that these do not need to be black, just a spare pair to help protect our gym floor and allow for safe participation.
