PE Week 4
In PE during week 4 Paul Scuteri from Sturt Lacrosse came and ran some lacrosse workshops. Why lacrosse? It was chosen to recognise Erin Bodner who has been an exchange teacher at our school this year. Lacrosse is the national game played in Canada where Erin calls home. It was a great way to acknowledge Erin’s nationality through the PE window. The students had a lot of fun and some took home a brochure so they could go and do a come and try session. If your child is interested in carrying on with some coaching please contact Pail Scuteri who is the Junior Recruitment Coordinator on 0422 478 280 or email scuteri@gmail.com.
