Sport: Junior School, Term 4 Week 5 2026

Junior Anglican Cup

Our Junior School students enjoyed a fantastic day of sport at the Anglican Cup, held at St Peter’s Woodlands last Wednesday. Students competed across touch football, volleyball and netball, showcasing their skills, teamwork and determination throughout the day.

There were some fantastic results across the various competitions, but even more pleasing was the outstanding sportsmanship displayed by our students. They represented Pulteney with pride, demonstrating great respect for their teammates, opponents and officials. Well done to everyone involved!

PE Day 2026 – Friday 13 November

Designed to promote physical activity and participation in sport and recreation, PE Day will take place in Term 4 on Friday 13 November. Students from ELC to Year 11 are encouraged to come to School wearing their PE uniform along with their favourite sports or team tops, hats, and accessories. There will be games at recess and lunch in the Quad, to enjoy with friends.
A gold coin donation is requested from students, with all proceeds going to support people in Nepal who enjoy many sports, including cricket, soccer, basketball, and volleyball.

Congratulations to Dimitri (Year 6), who has been selected as one of just 12 players from across Australia to represent the Ellë Football Academy National Team on an international tour to London in May 2027.

Dimitri will compete in the prestigious Pro Academy Series Tournament on 29–30 May, where his team will take on some of the world’s leading football academies, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham and Juventus.

The tournament will bring together 32 teams from around the world, providing an incredible opportunity for Dimitri to test himself against some of the best young football talent internationally.

This is a fantastic achievement and a wonderful recognition of Dimitri’s hard work, dedication and passion for the game. We are incredibly proud of him and look forward to following his journey as he takes this exciting next step in his football development.

Well done Dimi!
