In addition we also have sporting activities organised after school such as soccer and netball. In 2001 we ran a Family PE night, which was initiated, inspired and efficiently organised by a parent of the school, it was a sensational event bringing most of our school community together for hours of fun! Many of our fundraising activities in the past have encompassed a fitness activity such as our Skip-a-thon in 2001, and Dance-a-thon in 2002.
