Winter Sports
Across all the sports codes, this is the same message being relayed that all trials, training's and games be postponed until further notice.
Our school will not go ahead with naming teams until we get the all clear message for sport to go ahead however if anyone still wants to play a sport, please let us know. We urgently need girls to play in the miniball team from Years 4-6 but if there is a capable Year 3 girl who would like to play, please let us know. We also require coaches for rugby in the 7 & 8 year team and the girls miniball team. Netball coaches will be confirmed when trials have been completed for the top 2 teams.
This is the update from each sport.
