This is the first of our two Inter-House Sports Carnivals planned for the year.
For new families to Highland Reserve State School, the sporting houses and colours at Highland Reserve are Guanaba (green), Wongawallan (red), Kurrungal (yellow). If you’re unsure of the sports house that your child is in, please don’t hesitate to contact their classroom teacher to find out.
It would be fantastic to see as many students as possible dressed in shirts of their house colours for this exciting day. Extra items of colour may also be worn, however, please consider practicality during running.
