BASKETBALL INTERSCHOOL SPORT DAY

In Week 3, Thursday October 21 our Years 4-6 will travel to Wynnum High (Year 4) and Bayside High (Years 5 & 6) for an all-day basketball competition. Students are to wear full sports uniform including their hat, and bring water bottle and lunch for the day. At this stage there are no canteen/tuckshop options so it is important that students bring a packed lunch.

Our Friday afternoon practices leading up to this continue today and in Week 2.
