Sport: Junior School, Term 2 Week 3 2026
It has been wonderful to see Junior Sport fixtures resume, with students returning to the courts and fields with great enthusiasm. There has already been some excellent sportsmanship and quality play across netball, soccer and football, along with plenty of opportunities for teams to continue developing as the season progresses. We are also looking forward to Cross Country, Year 3/4 football and JS hockey getting underway this week in a brand-new competition hosted by Forestville Hockey Club.
Uniform guide:
Please refer to the Junior School cocurricular sport uniform guide for information about the 2026 uniform requirements for co-curricular sport.
