🏊‍♀️🏐 SPLASH POLO – TERM 4, 2026 🏐🏊‍♂️

We are excited to offer Splash Polo in Term 4!

Splash Polo is a fun, modified version of water polo designed for primary-aged students. It’s a bit like playing football in the water, with players passing, working together as a team and aiming to score by throwing the ball into a floating goal.

💦 No previous experience is required, however students need to be confident and comfortable in and around the water. The game can be physical at times.

• Grading games: 1 November 2026
• Round 1: 8 November
• Round 2: 15 November
• Round 3: 22 November
• Round 4: 29 November
• Round 5: 6 December
• Finals: 13 December

📍 Venue: Hillcrest Normal School
🗓️ Games: Sundays between 8:00am–7:00pm, depending on the draw

🏊 Divisions
Junior: Years 3–4 only
Senior: Up to Year 6

Thinking about playing basketball in Term 4? ALL students who want to play basketball — whether they are continuing from Term 3 or wanting to start playing — must complete a new online registration form.

Due to the high volume of Touch registrations for Term 4, we need to have a clear and accurate number of students wanting to play basketball. Registrations will not be rolled over from Term 3.

📅 Please make sure your registration is completed by the end of Term 3.

To mark our centenary in 2025, the school commissioned two original artworks by artist Jane Maisey, completed in 2026. They celebrate two important figures in our school’s story: St Columba, our patron, and Euphrasie Barbier, founder of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM), who established our school.
