Coming up to the last 3 weeks of some competitions, read closely for details. Sports gear donations still welcome ...

SPORTS GEAR DONATIONS

We are still seeking donations of sports gear that's in good condition, so it can give a child who needs it an opportunity to take part in sport.

We are collecting your unused sports gear to give it a new lease of life for children and families who need it. We are working in conjunction with the "Cadbury Donate your Sports Gear" campaign to ensure every child who wishes to play sport is given that opportunity without any barriers.

Sports gear we need includes:

• Team sports equipment e.g. bibs, balls, bats
• General training equipment
• Kit for cricket, softball, football, rugby, hockey, netball etc
• Football and rugby boots
• Sports bags
• General sportswear in good condition

If you have sports gear you would like to donate to this very worthy cause, please drop it into the school office or contact Jolene Casey at school. Our first priority will to be help the children and families at our own school and then any surplus gear will be donated to the Charity collection. Equally if you are in need of some sports gear to enable your child to take part in sport, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
