Sport: Junior School, Term 4 Week 2 2026

It was wonderful to see all our summer sports back in action and enjoying the sunshine last week. Our Reception to Year 2 students were excited to return to their chosen activities, while our basketball teams dusted off the cobwebs and competed in some well-fought matches throughout the week. Our volleyball teams also gelled well together after the winter break, showing great teamwork and enthusiasm. Saturday morning saw a fantastic turnout for cricket, with a full house and six Pulteney teams in action. A big thank you also goes to our Junior School students who are helping with our Middle School sport programs. It’s fantastic to see such enthusiasm, commitment, and community spirit across our summer sports!
