Sporting Schools - After School Program

Hi everyone,

Well back to another exciting year at Mentone Park Primary School.

This year we have been lucky enough to be involved in the Sporting School - After School Programs. These programs run for 4 weeks and are funded by the Sporting Schools Program Grant, which means they are FREE.

PLEASE NOTE:

* PARENTS will need to place your child/children's name on the expression of interest form which will be located at the office. Students need to be able to participate in ALL 4 SESSIONS.

* For the sessions to go ahead we ask that we have ONE parent AT EACH SPORT that would be able to stay and assist the coach in toilet supervision and roll call. If you are able to assist please place your name on the expression of interest form with the sport that your child/children are participating in.
