Table Tennis Victoria- After school clinics

For four weeks of this term, students have been provided the opportunity to attend table-tennis clinics on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday after school. These clinics have been possible through our school receiving a Sporting Schools Victoria grant, which has also allowed us to purchase five tables to place into shared spaces around the school. 

Students taking part in the clinics have shown huge improvements in their skills, and have certainly loved the "ball machine" firing ping pong balls in their direction.
