Water Polo
Our Opens Boys and Girls Water Polo teams competed at the Regional Water Polo Championships recently. All students had a great day with their skills and teamwork improving with each match.
The girls finished 4th while the boys were undefeated and were crowned Regional Champions!! This is the best result in water polo ever for our school.
The boys team travelled to Newcastle on Wednesday to play Alstonville High School for a place in the final eight tournament. The boys put up a gallant effort but were defeated by their more highly experienced opponents.
A big thank you to Mr Hickey for taking these teams and for Mr Alfonsi for accompanying the boys on their road trip. Our students love water polo and are super keen to continue participating.
