Schools program
Our strong relationship with local Schools continues to develop and this is at the centre of the continued strong Junior registrations. The support we get from Cherrybrook Public, John Purchase, Oakhill Drive, St Agatha’s and West Pennant Hills Public has been fantastic.
Congratulations to our Coaches who did such a stella job – Harrison Norrell, Josh Banner, Tis Mistry, Andy Meikle and Daniel Heidegger. Some feedback is worth recording:
“Your boys were absolutely fantastic. Flexible when the conditions changed and polite and engaging with the kids. An absolute pleasure to work with. So much so that I was planning to pass this onto you anyway.
The rotations were fun for the kids and I know my kids had a ball.
Thank you so much and please pass on how impressed I was with their efforts.”
