PBC Cross Country will take place on Thursday 22 April (Term 2, Week 1). This is an event for all of our students to get involved in whether they love running or just want a challenge. It is also a HOUSE event so students are encouraged to run in their HOUSE colours and gain points towards the 2021 House Cup.
All Sports Excellence students are expected to take part and if anyone else wants to compete, they just need to sign up with Mrs Hart at S Block Staffroom before Wednesday 21 April.
Students will run in the AGE GROUP THEY TURN THIS YEAR - 2021

Hopefully that this year, we will take strong team to Districts.
Funky Furniture
Recently one of our teachers Mrs Banks decided to take up our regional physiotherapist’s offer of a loan for some alternative seating to encourage incidental movement in the classroom and to support strong core muscle development and posture. More and more our students are ‘stuck’ in a seated position for the day. This trial allows for students to trial different types of seating which as a bonus is also inclusive for some students who have mild physical disabilities.
