SPORTS PROGRAM

Tongala Primary School prides itself in its sporting achievements. As a school we compete in a number of team sports, whilst also allowing individuals to follow their passions in many areas. The school participates with neighbouring schools in Winter and Summer Sports competitions and Athletics sports, whilst also holding its own Swimming, Cross Country and House Athletics.


Tongala Primary School enters teams in the local Soccer, Boys and Girls Football, Netball, Basketball, Cricket competitions, as well as a Lawn Bowls team, which incorporates the local Bowling Club and its members.




CAMPS PROGRAM

Our school camping program combines both adventure camps and educational camps from Grades 2-6.

Our camps rotate between adventure camps and educational camps, providing students with new skills and life long memories.

Our Grade 2 students attend Pioneer Settlement in Swan Hill for an overnight stay, where they take part in a range of olden day activities.

Our Grade 3/4 students attend Murray Life Adventures in Torrumbarry. This camp gets students out of their comfort zone, with fabulous, challenging activities to take part in.

Our Grade 5/6 students alternate between Urban Camp in Melbourne and Cottage By The Sea in Queenscliff. Both camps provide a vast range of activities and challenges for the students.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Tongala Primary School prides itself on the work and support they provide for the community. We are active participants in local commemorative services, such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.

The school also takes part in Ride and Walk Safely to school days, the Community Hay Bale Trail, and partake in fundraising for a number of other organisations. The school also serves lunches weekly at the Senior Citizens Club.

Tongala Primary School attend the annual Reconciliation Walk in Echuca, assist at local events through our Parents and Friends committee and visit nearby Secondary Schools and Kindergartens as part of the transition program.



EXCURSIONS/INCURSIONS

Our school takes part in many local excursions across the year. Some of these take place in the township of Tongala, whereas others require us to travel to attend. These excursions often provide unique learning experiences for our students, and often link directly to what is being taught in the classroom. We also take opportunities to invite people to our school to run performances, be guest speakers and run information sessions for our students.
