And that's a wrap on our first ever sports camp!
55 attendees + 6 sports = 2 jam packed days of fun. From Basketball to Hockey and everything in between our kids enjoyed participating in a range of sports, making new friends and learning new skills.

A massive thank you to our sponsors, coaches and volunteers - this would not have been possible without your support.

This is just the beginning... See you all next year!

🏑 Can you give us a hand at sports camp? 🏀

We are on the hunt for volunteers for the following tasks:
🍔 Cooks and Servers for BBQ Lunch (Friday)
🍳 Cooks and Servers for BBQ Breakfast (Saturday)
🍎 Cutting up for fruit for Smoko (Can be done Thursday night or Friday morning)
👟 Sports Camp is being held across 2 venues and some families will have participants needing to be at both places at the same time. We're on the hunt for people who are willing to assist with supervision of participants during the activities if their parent is required at the other venue (think of it as tag teaming 😉)

From the bush to the beach, ICPA delegates from around Australia convened at the Gold Coast to deliver, debate and discuss the nationally relevant issues affecting rural and remote education and the impact these have on our children, families and communities. The motions and case studies presented directly shape the advocacy and lobbying that ICPA continue to relentlessly and tirelessly achieve on our behalf and the wins on the board are proof that although change doesn’t necessarily happen overnight, persistence and passion deliver positive results. A big shout out to the committee who coordinated an amazing 55th annual ICPA Federal Conference, generously hosted by St Hilda’s and wholeheartedly supported by TSS. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
