Melbourne Football Club visit
On Wednesday, we were fortunate enough to have 5 AFL football players from Melbourne Demons FC visit 60 lucky students at St Patricks. The players ran a special Leadership clinic to our Year 6 Leaders, speaking to them about the tools and skills needed to become an outstanding leader. This was then followed by a practical skills session for a select group of Year 4-6 students, learning basic football skills through fun drills and activities. The students were then able to meet the players, receive some autographs and prizes. It was a great afternoon and opportunity to meet some elite sport performers.

Our sincere thanks to Christie for all her work.
