Run & Walk Club is Back!

Run & Walk Club is back from Week 2 and will be held every Wednesday at 7:30 am on the school oval for the rest of the term.

It's a great opportunity for students to build their fitness, prepare for the Athletics Carnival and Interschool events, and have fun with friends.

Students who attend regularly throughout the term will be invited to a Week 10 BBQ to celebrate their commitment.

The full schedule is available on the Sport Noticeboard in the Undercover Area. A coffee van will also be on site each Wednesday morning for parents and staff.
