A team of 10 players will be heading to the Australian Schools Volleyball Cup in Melbourne being held from 3 -9 December. 

The cost for this trip plus NZ School Nationals in 2017 will be close to $2000 each so we are doing a lot of fundraising. 

An Ambrose Golf Tournament which was won by Mr Nielsen, Mr Rolfe, Blake and Sam. We also held movie evening and the movie being shown is Bridget Jones Baby 9th Oct. other fundraising activities included a Quiz Night, selling Christmas Hams and Hellers Bacon.

We will get to play at three different venues all over Melbourne from Dandenong to the Netball Centre. the team will be staying at St Hildas a University Hall of residence at Melbourne University a unique experience in itself. We plan to see the see the city via tram, bus and train.
