Football Goal Posts

New football goal posts have been installed on our school oval for students to enjoy during recess and lunch times, and to utilise during PE lessons. Year 12 students Hannah and Toby think they're a great addition to our school.

School Sport Knock Out Volleyball Competition

Our open boys and girls volleyball teams travelled to Adelaide in week 4 to participate in the School Sport SA knock out volleyball competition. Both teams were competitive against the other schools, with our open girls team going through to the finals in week 8. We wish them all the best for their next round in the finals.

The year 7 and 8 students will get their opportunity in week 3 of next term, to compete in preparation for the end of year event.

Volleyball SA Smash Event - Adelaide

Thank you to those that have made contact with the school and have paid the deposit for the end of year event. From here, we will finalise teams, accommodation and transport before sending home further information. We will also hold a parent information session on a Monday night at the Alan Coulter Recreation Centre (TBC) to meet coaches and ask any questions. Teams and parents can also start to talk about any fundraising opportunities they can do over the next few months in preperation for the trip. It is important that students continue to train at the scheduled time during lunch time and out of school hours to best prepare themselves for the competition.
