Learning from the best: our Year 12s teach footy to the ELC

Last week in the ELC, we had our annual football clinic with members from the Carey senior football teams coming to teach the kindergarten children some training drills and footy games. It was also an opportunity for the children to wear their football team’s colours for the day.
