The day is all about participation, please encourage students to participate to the best of their abilities.
Volleyball
This Friday our stage three students participated in the Beach Volleyball competition. They played a modified game called newcombe ball. Students had a great day and showed sportsmanship. A big thankyou to the staff who assisted in the day, students wouldn’t have been able to participate without you.
