Maroondah Region Girls AFL Day
On the 1st of August a selected group of Grade 5/6 girls represented Kalinda Primary School at the Maroondah Region Girls AFL Day.
They played five games, competing against Holy Spirit, Marlborough, Antonio Park, Yarra Road and Croydon Hills. The girls won two out of the five games played, which is a great effort.
They should be really proud of themselves, their improvement in skill performance and game sense was sensational. They worked really well together as a team, as they continually encouraged one another. The girls really enjoyed the experience, and had a great day together.
A special thank-you to Nick who assisted with coaching the team, and thank-you to all the parents who attended and showed their support on the day.
