Hosted by Steve Moneghetti, 5 Olympic sports, Basketball, Soccer, Athletics, Badminton & Golf were showcased to the students with every student participating in each sport. A number of past and present Olympians were also on hand to assist and encourage those present. The golf program was conducted by Olivia Kline, (Golf Australia) who is one of Victoria’s top amateur players. She was assisted by Brett Wyllie (EGDGA Junior coordinator) & Johanna Wyllie.
