Opens Girls Basketball - 27th Feb, 2024
On Tuesday 27th February GIHS Opens girls basketball played three games in the first round of the knockout competition. The girls were highly competitive beating both Guyra and Inverell High School and going down to McIntyre High by one point. The girls played well as a team and had excellent defense throughout all three games. Thank you to our two referees Will and Rex for helping out on the day. We wish McIntyre luck as they move forward to the next round of competitions.
