WPCC HOCKEY CLINICS
Please see the information on the Edana App under Documentation for the Sunday morning clinics that are being run at the WPCC. We are trying to up the skill level of our players and extra time on the ball and field would be very beneficial for many of them. Unfortunately one practice a week is not enough time to cover fitness, skills and game time!

World adventurer and author, Riaan Manser, kept our Grade 4 to 7 girls riveted, as he shared some of his fascinating and harrowing experiences related to his beautiful new children’s book My First African Adventure. His message of being brave and determined is one we certainly hope our girls take with them through life.
Learning about ratios in Gr 6 Maths – fun with Smarties! The best Maths lesson ever!
Bravo to the Grae 7 cast, crew and director for their brilliant performance of At First I Was Afraid ..(I was Petrified!). It was a relevant and contemporary interpretation of the play by Douglass Maxwell, in association with Wonder Fool Theatre. Thank you to all the parents who supported and the Grade 3-6s absolutely loved their Outing to the Theatre!
