Our school quiz teams have
 did a great job in the credit union quiz. Although they didn’t win, they put in a great effort and represented the school well.            
                                                                          

Mr Buckley organised a lunchtime futsal tournament for 4th 5th and 6th. Everybody really enjoyed it. The semi-finals and finals were held out in the yard so everybody could watch. In the end, a penalty shoot out decided the winners. Well done lads and thanks Mr Buckley!
