On Saturday 5 April, the RSL Youth Band performed at the 140th Anniversary Celebration Concert in Machattie Park. Chase, Piper, Emily, Leo, and Logan were part of the Youth Band playing some beautiful music and entertaining the audience.

On Friday 4 April, our netball team competed in the PSSA Netball Knockout Gala Day. The team had a convincing win against West Bathurst PS in the first game with an impressive score of 33-2. This win ensured the team progressed to the second round against Bathurst PS. This game proved to be a real nail biter, with our team really stepping it up in the last quarter, finally going down by just 2 goals (16-14). Congratulations to our team on a fantastic day! You all represented our school admirably and we are all very proud of you.

Team: Phoebe Hemming, Amity De Montemas, Aaliyah Newham, Oaklea Sharman, Kahtia Marple, Shania Mulligan, Millie George, Billy Healey, Harley Roxburgh and Jack Willott.
