Just a quick update, please read carefully:
There are no games this Friday 5th of December due to the Westbourne Park Concert
Finals are on the last day of school - being the 12th of December - game times will be confirmed asap. I
assume they will be between 4 - 5pm.
This weeks training for the 6/7 teams will be shortened and will finish at 4pm due to the End of Year Concert at
School. This was decided by the players.
With graduation for year 7's on the 10th, we will offer a training session for the 6/7's on Tuesday 9/12/14 till
430
Thank you for your support this year. It has been nice to see the program grow and the development of your

On Friday, December 5th there will be a Christian Options Program Christmas presentation titled ‘O Come Let
us A –door Him’ to years R-2 and 4-7, a letter was sent home providing more detail.
This fun and informative play is designed to help students of a primary age to understand the Christmas story through
different characters such as the Innkeeper’s family and the three wise men, with drama DVD and music. The Christmas
production is conducted by a team of trained volunteers of local churches, and has been well received by students in
previous years.
