Below is some information about the Summer Sports Rally this coming Saturday. A reminder that this is a compulsory event.

Time: The boys are to be seated in the Hall by 6.10pm for a 6.30pm start. It will finish at approx. 7.30pmDress: Full Blues (Blazer and Blue pants)

 Logistics: the boys can as per usual head home after their sporting fixture and then return for the Rally. It would be great if the boys could go straight to the Hall and avoid coming up to the dorms.

The information below was sent to the boys yesterday. I thought it would be helpful for us all to know.

2. All boys attending the lunch leave need to complete a submission.

3. The Year 12 area is totally out of bounds. You are not to have lunch leaves down in the Year 12 area and are not to play touch football or anything like this on the Year 12 Volleyball courts.

Rain again played havoc with the Saturday Sport Fixtures but there were a few activities over the weekend. Mr Heagney and Mr McKay took a group of boarders to Macquarie Centre to play laser tag and ten pin. Mr Heagney taught everyone how the play ten pin but the boys got their revenge at Daytona.
