Winter Sports

Thank you to everyone who has singed up for winter sports for this year.

We will have 16 netball teams start in the first week of next term, along with 4 Hockey teams. All the best to these teams for their games and a huge thank you to all the wonderful parents, as well as ex-pupils, who have taken on coaching, managing and umpiring roles. Without them it would be impossible.

Please be aware our courts will be bursting with teams training in the mornings before school, so please keep clear of teams that are holding a practice.

Our 14 Basketball/Miniball teams and 2 Splash Polo teams will carry on their seasons which started in Term 1 into Term 2. We will be opening up Semester 2 (Terms 3 & 4) registrations later in Term 2 so look out for the sports newsletter with that information or keep an eye on the school website.
