After a successful 2018 on the sporting field we are very excited to enter the 2019 year and try to defend championships and add new ones to the list this year. The activities below have already been planned for this year. Family and community support is very much welcomed and valued at any of our events throughout the year.
House Captains 2019
House captains will be elected during week 2. Each house will have a Senior Male and Female Captain (from Year’s 11 and 12) and a Junior Male and Female Captain (from Year 6). Good luck to all those who nominate for this role.
