Term 4
Term 4 brings with us a Term where many students are looking towards the end of the year, while many others in the sporting arena are just starting out on their sporting journey for a new season. Little Aths started up again last weekend and students are preparing for the start of a new season of athletics.
Over the holidays we had a number of senior students representing Moama Anglican Grammar and Riverina Associated Schools association at the CIS Athletics Carnival. Some of these students followed this up by representing Moama Anglican Grammar at the NSW All Schools Athletics Carnival too. Congratulations to all of these students, who competed really well at these state levels. A couple of our students received medals, but all students did their best among a tough group of competitors. Below are the results for these students:

Today our Year 5 & 6 Basketball teams were playing at the Echuca basketball stadium against other schools in the area.
Half way through the day the boys from their 4 games had 1 loss, 1 draw and 2 wins.
The girls from their 4 games had 1 win, 2 losses and 1 draw.
The girls finished with a good win against Twin Rivers (16-4). Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to make the semi finals. They finished equal third in their pool.
The boys also finished the day with a 26-10 win over Twin Rivers. The boys narrowly missed the semi finals, finishing 3rd on a count back in their pool.
