Primary School participation in sport is improving constantly. Our soccer boys are playing in the A League and slightly hampered by lak of numbers, but the boys are positive and working hard with the coaches to improve their game. They recently fought bravely to hold Clarendon Park to a 1-1 draw.

Our hockey girls have won all their matches so far this season. A tour is planned for the U/14 side in the third term.

Netball has become very popular amongst our Grade 1's and 2's and we have now included an extra practice for these girls.
