Round 1 Winter Sport
Unfortunately, the beautiful warm conditions we experienced on Friday were not enough to dry out the grounds of schools and councils in time for round 1 and as such we only managed to get a handful of games in. Those teams that did play were excited to put into play everything they have learned over the trials and training sessions at the end of last term. Notable performers, as nominated by the coaches for Round and 1 and 2 will be read out at assembly and will receive their certificate from the Sport department later this week. Congratulations to our Yr 6 Football teams who started off their season with some great Football at home on Saturday. Our youngest teams in Year 3 Football and Netball also got to play and with a 7-0 win to the 3A Football and a 3-3 draw to the Netball before it got called off due to wet weather.
