Saturday Sports Updates – Term 1 Competitions

It has been a joy to watch our students representing Santa on the courts, fields and the swimming pool as part of the Saturday Sports offers.

The levels of engagement have been amazing and each week we can see the enjoyment and development during the IPSHA (Junior School) Soccer, Water Polo and Flippaball competitions and the IGSA (Senior School) Touch Football, Tennis and Water Polo competitions.

Please note that for games played at Santa Sabina there is a strict NO DOG onsite policy. We would love to see all parents from all participant schools adhering to this guideline for the safety of all involved in the facilitation of the competitions.
