School Sport Australia – National Championships. Congratulations to Hugh Gibson (4W) who recently competed at the National Schools Athletics Championships. Hugh competed in the 100m, 200m and Long Jump and came away with a bronze medal in the 4 x 100m relay! Also, we hope Byron Wright (6B) is enjoying his time representing the ACT at the National 12/U Cricket Championships in Bendigo this week. We look forward to hearing stories of wickets and a few runs against the other States/Territories.

Supervision here at school will be available for students not attending the excursion.
