GO GO GOLF
To support this new and exciting sporting activity the school has purchased the 'Go Go Golf Kit' which is specially designed for students. This kit will enable every student participating to have their own iron and use specially designed golf balls for safety. Week one will cover basic golf skills and safety, week two students will practise their golf swings and week three a mini golf course will be set up a for a competition.
We are looking at offering a competition against other schools at a local golf course later in the year, so watch out all Tigers and Sharks we may have the next Australian golf champion coming from Ithaca Creek.

HOCKEY
This activity will take place on the basketball court. All students will be learning a range of hockey skills, and playing mini games that use the skills learned. Students need: water bottle and hat.
