St Clair School

Today, our Year 5 and 6 miniballers were lucky to have some very special visitors from the Southern Hoiho! They ran drills, taught new skills, played a game, and even answered all the burning questions from our keen young players. It was loads of fun, and the kids absolutely loved every moment of it!

A huge thank you to the Southern Hoiho for inspiring our future stars!
