EXCEL Sport Program

EXCEL Sport 2018 Testing Day

On Thursday 4th May we had 65 Grade 6 students from surrounding Primary Schools attend PRSC for the day. The students participated in a range of competitive sports, fitness testing and a written component in order to apply for the EXCEL Sports Program in 2018. All of the applicants were extremely impressive and the decision to select 20 EXCEL Sport students was difficult. Congratulations to the students who were selected to be in the Year 7 EXCEL Sport Program 2018.

Junior Boys Netball

Earlier this term our Junior Sport EXCEL boys ventured out to Jubilee Park Netball Centre and competed in the Northern Peninsula Division Boys Netball Tournament. For many of our boys it was the first time they had played competitive matches of Netball and although the results did not go our way, improvement was shown throughout the tournament. The boys have said they already look forward to the 2018 Boys Netball tournament.

The opportunity for a 3 V 3 Basketball Tournament was presented to several of our Basketball obsessed ladies and gentleman from Year 9 – 11. With many jumping at the opportunity 8 males and 8 females were selected to travel to The State Basketball Centre in Knox to represent Patterson River.
