We look forward to concluding our trials this Saturday for IPSHA Football, IPSHA Water Polo and Year 3 Basketball, with competitions beginning Saturday, February 12.
An email has been sent to all parents with daughters enrolled in sports this term with start and finish dates and pick-up and drop-off information. These can also be found on Cognito in the Sport course (Parent Access).
