Saturday sport at its best.
Our House Netball saw our youngest in Years 3 and 4 enjoy practicing their developmental skills to enjoy multiple games.
While Years 5 and 6 really stretched their prowess on the court achieving a high level of skill and teamwork.
Best of all the encouragement and coaching by all the children was a delight to see and hear.

A marvellous morning of football for our children!
Participation and fun throughout with a challenge to stretch leadership skills and teamwork for our older children in Year 5 and 6.
Thoughtful and considered decision making by the children in determining play and choosing player of the day. Very proud of the way our children are developing as all rounded athletes.
