 Year 8 Girls Tennis Program

Students have been involved in an active after school program on a Monday night. Phoebe Davis from Tennis Tasmania has been coordinating the program, which has a focus on participation, fun and skill development. Who knows, our next Ash Barty might appear from being involved in this great program. Once again, well done to all the girls for taking up the opportunity.
