Year 7 Boys Hockey Success  - Go Eels

On Monday the 17th of September, selected students from the Year 7 Sport Education Boys Hockey class represented Patterson River Secondary College at the Year 7 Northern Peninsula District hockey tournament.

The students only had 2 games against EMC and Frankston for the day however both teams were very strong with their skills. With an array of talent in our team, the students should be commended for their teamwork and communication as they came away from the day victorious, drawing with EMC and then beating Frankston 6-1.

I was so proud of the manner in which the boys conducted themselves and demonstrated fair play and team spirit. Now we look forward to our next challenge, the Southern Metropolitan regional finals to be held in Hawthorn on the 28th October.
