Winter Sport Round
Last Friday our Year 5 and 6 students went to St Mary’s Primary School to participate in the third round of the Winter Sports Competition. They participated in football, netball, hot shots tennis, t-ball, volleyball and soccer. Thank you to the staff at St Mary’s for catering to our large number of students.
Our Year 3 and 4 students had their own winter sport round robin at school. The students participated in soccer, basketball, netball, down ball, spike ball and mixed games. It was great to see the two year levels working together in their chosen sports.
