Secondary Sport

Brumbies Visit

In the last few weeks of term 3, the PASS class have been competing in a 'Mini Olympics' in various sports included in the Olympics or Commonwealth Games. As part of this experience, they have enjoyed sessions with Brumbies Rugby Development Officers, Rhianna Burke, Sammy Maxwell and Tom Martin, learning skills and game sense for Rugby 7s. We were lucky to have Brumbies Will Miller and Bayley Kuenzle from the current Super Rugby premiers team, visit our school with the trophy and spend time playing touch with students at recess. Thanks to all involved.
