Inter-House Sports Day

We are holding our Annual Inter-House Sports Day for all pupils in Grade 3 – 7 tomorrow, 15th March, starting at 8:30am. All team lists are up on the notice board.

Pupils should be here by 8:00am, dressed in house colour T-shirts, white socks, takkies, tracksuits, hats, and name badges. They are also reminded to bring sun cream. They should meet on the netball field with their house captains for warm-up and roll call.

Please do not bring juice as this attracts bees to the tents. Water will be provided.
Prize Giving should be at approximately 12:15pm.
All parents, family, and friends of Bishopslea are invited.
The PTA will be selling food and drinks during and after the event.

Note: Parents, relatives, etc., are not allowed to go to the competitors’ tents during the events or give competitors food/drinks until after the event.
