Volleyball
Thanks for everyone who participated in the Staff vs Year 12 Volleyball match last day of Term 1. It was lots of fun and had a great vibe with lots of students coming to watch.
Thank you to Yauble and Aidan for organising the year 12 team, to Luke and Phoenix for setting up the net, Tia and Harvey for scoring, and the Candice for taking the photos at short notice.
A special thank you to all the staff who came out during their lunchtime to play. Looking forward to the next event in term 2!
Year 7 & 8 AFL 9-a-side Tournament
On May 14 we had two year 7/8 boys teams entered in the local Crows Cup 9-a-side football carnival at South Adelaide. Both teams competed in a great spirit and achieved an even number of wins and losses, finishing mid-tier in the competition. It was excellent to see all students improving across the day, adapting to different positions. We are very proud of their conduct and sportsmanship clearly upholding our School Values.
