K-2 AFL Skills Day
Our recent AFL Skills Day for our Kinder to Year 2 students was a fantastic event, and the children had a great time while also learning new skills.
It was great to see our youngest students engage with the sport and develop their AFL skills. The event was a wonderful opportunity for our students to get active and try something new, and we are proud of all their efforts.
We would like to give a special mention to our Year 6 students who ran the stations during the day. Their leadership and commitment were outstanding, and they did a fantastic job in guiding the younger students through the activities and providing them with valuable tips and encouragement.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind our parents and students about the upcoming AFL Auskick program, which will run every Thursday at 4.30pm at the Ulladulla Sports Park. The program is open to all boys and girls aged 5-7, and it's a fantastic opportunity for children to learn the skills of the game in a fun and safe environment.
The program is run by experienced coaches and focuses on developing children's skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. It's a great way for children to get active, make new friends, and develop a love for the game.
