156 Preps at Berwick Primary school have just received brand new tennis racquets from Tennis Australia as part of the Tennis in Schools initiative.
They have been braving the rather cool and windy weather and have participated in four consecutive tennis lessons at the school.
The Berwick Primary school physical education Staff and coaches from Berwick tennis Club’s Set4Tennis have been delivering a highly skilled and enjoyable program.
This also included the Grade 1 and Grade 2 year levels.
“The students have learnt a sport they can play for life and they have learnt tennis skills as well as life skills,” Berwick Tennis Club head coach Allison Miller said.
“We encourage students to come to the club and try out lessons.
“The aim of the program is to promote and foster the students to be active.”
