FLIPPA BALL, MINI POLO & WATER POLO
Flippa Ball (Year 3 & Year 4) is a great entry level sport which leads into Water Polo. The boys get to learn the sport and compete regularly in
an outside league competition.
Mini Polo (Year 5 & Year 6) is also an opportunity for boys to learn the basics of beginner Water Polo skills and the rules of the sport. Teams compete regularly in an outside league competition.
Water Polo (Year 7 & 8) involves league games on Friday nights.
ARCHERY
Archery is a great sport that is both competitive and social. Our instructors have only 4 out of 8 students shooting at one time so that they can have their full focus on a small number of students.
