Sports Results
Flippaball
The first flippaball games for the term where held on Sunday at Moana Pool. We have 3 teams entered this term. All our teams lost but that was just a warm up! Good luck for next week. Many thanks to Mrs Hesson who organises and coaches the teams. The $25 fee for playing flippaball needs to be paid as soon as possible. Flippaball is not included as part of the school activity donation.
