NETBALL

VISORS:  Netball visors are now available for purchase through the office.

We are well into the second half of the season. Going forward, we will have our AGM towards the end of the term. 

Due to COVID restrictions, the End of Year Presentation will most likely be the same as last year - Mrs Elliott presenting trophies to each team at school with a blurb from the coaches. Each team is more than welcome to have their own little celebration at the end of the season.

Thank you for the continued hard work of our coaches who volunteer their time to coach the students. Thank you to the players who support other teams by playing for them when they are short of players. Thank you to the parents who support the coaches by being positive and helping out. Thanks to the players who display excellent sportsmanship week after week!

Thanks so much!!
