Sporting Schools Grants

Last year Trina applied for and received a Lawn Bowls Grant in Term 3 and a Table Tennis Grant in Term 4, which resulted in the students being trained in the skills of those 2 sports during PE lessons, and the school receiving enough equipment necessary to successfully teach these sports to a whole class of children at the same time. This year, Trina has applied for Soccer in Term 2 and Hockey in Term 3. This term the grant will provide the school with more soccer equipment and a soccer coach, affiliated with Adelaide United Club, who will deliver an in depth soccer skills program, with Trina’s assistance, during Friday’s PE lessons Week 5,7,8, and 9.
