Sporting Schools Term 3
We have been fortunate to secure a grant for Term 3, and all students in Kindergarten - Year 6 will participate in a 4-week Gymnastics program. We are looking forward to having coaches support the students with learning new skills in gymnastics.
Week 1 was a great success with students thoroughly enjoying learning new skills and having fun!

Olympics Unleashed Visit Today
Today, the students in Years 4-6 had a visit from Australian Olympian Felicity Turner. They learned from Felicity Turner's Olympic journey about how to build resilience, the importance of setting goals, and how to find what you are passionate about.
Students heard firsthand from Felicity Turner about how she overcame challenges to compete in her chosen sport at the very highest level, and how some lessons she has learned in sport can help them to be the best they can be – whether that’s in school, at home, on the sporting field, or with friends.
