Junior School

Easter Hat Parade

A very appreciative audience of proud parents attended the Easter Hat parades at the Junior Schools this week, with much admiration for the colour, creativity and craft-iness employed by our students in their millinery masterpieces.

This busy term has closed with not only the excitement of our Easter Hat parades and the anticipation of the coming holiday break, but with a Cross Country Carnival and a whole school Easter Service.  It is always an exciting time when we bring our three campuses together, and a lovely way to finish a term that has been full of the joy of learning new things, friendship and fun.

I wish all our families a safe, restful and happy Easter break.  I thank, in advance, the students and families who will be attending and representing BMGS at various ANZAC Day services across our beautiful Mountains, and I look forward to seeing you all refreshed and ready for the adventures ahead for us in Term 2.

Junior School Basketball

Term 1 - Week 9

Players in our undefeated BMGS Swish team started their Semi-Final match strongly, getting ahead in points early and growing the lead slowly. However, a push back from the opposition lead to a three-point difference by half time. With the unfamiliar scoreboard pressure, the Swish began to panic. They started to throw the ball away, travel and step over the line on inbound throws. The emotional game reached its crux with six minutes left and they were down by one point. Heads dropped across the board and mistakes continued to come. The Swish suffered their first defeat. However, it was a good game and a learning experience for the young team. I am incredibly proud of what they have achieved and how they have grown throughout the season.

BMGS Raptors are at the pointy end of their season with only one week to go. With good attendance from their team members, they had the opportunity to rotate players out to give them a rest. Their games concluded with a win, a draw and a loss. They were great at getting the ball back into their half and when they played a less experienced team, they shared the ball around and it was great to see lots of the team members scored baskets.

BMGS Blue Whales took the court with no subs so it was hard work for them to maintain their speed without getting tired. They won their first game, they had a draw against the Raptors and lost their last game. They showed great determination and resilience. They had lots of opportunities at goals but unfortunately more were missed than went in. Hopefully with a bit more practice, their accuracy will improve.

The Under 10s will have their last session on Tuesday, 4th April.

Our end of season Basketball Presentation will be held in Coote Hall, which is in the Junior School at Wentworth Falls, at 3:00pm on Friday 31st March. Students need to sit with their team and bring their water bottles. There will be a light supper of pizza at the conclusion of the presentation. The event should conclude by 4:45pm.

With our season finished, it is time to return all the Basketball tops to be washed and put in a bag with your child’s name on it. The tops can be returned to the Junior School receptions. I will make sure their new tops are ready to go for the winter season.

With the April school holidays fast approaching, you may like to join in with the Scorchers for their school holiday Basketball Clinic. The clinic is worth every cent and I can assure you your child will have a great time with the coaches playing lots of fun games and developing their basketball skills. These workshops fill up quickly so be quick to register. It is on Tuesday, 11th and Wednesday, 12th April. Register using the QR code.
