🔵⚪️READY TO ROO? 2027 IS CALLING! 🦘🏉

The Teesdale Roos are getting ready for 2027 and we want it to be our BIGGEST year yet! 🙌

What started with a handful of junior Roos has grown into something pretty special, kids playing footy, families connecting, friendships forming and a community coming together🙌🏻

📣 NOW WE’RE CALLING ON OUR COMMUNITY, WE NEED OUR NEXT GENERATION OF ROOS📣🦘

We’re looking for players to join:
🏉 UNDER 9s
🏉 UNDER 10s
🏉 UNDER 12s
🏉 UNDER 14s

Whether your child has played for years, is thinking about giving footy a go for the very first time, or your family is simply looking for a great local club to belong to, there’s a place for you at Teesdale🏉

2027 is about more than filling teams. It’s about growing junior sport in our town. It’s about giving local kids somewhere to play, belong and make lifelong mates and it’s about building a club our whole community can be proud of👏🏼

🔥 So spread the word. Tag your mates. Tell your neighbours. Bring a friend.

Let’s make 2027 the year of the ROO! 🦘

To celebrate National Science Week, the students have enjoyed experimenting and exploring a range of concepts in Science class this week.

The Juniors explored the science week theme of 'Seeds for Science' quite literally by planting seeds in their own decorated containers.
The Middle School students enjoyed getting their hands dirty by making and experimenting with a non-Newtonian fluid, cornflour slime.
The Seniors used 'blubber gloves' and their bare hands to identify how animals in Polar regions rely on a thick layer of blubber to insulate their bodies.
