Division Basketball & Volleyball

A big shout out to our year 6s and Lachie that attended the basketball and volleyball on Friday 15 October.  There were some super close matches and both teams missed out on making it through to the next round, but they played extremely well and should be proud of their efforts. 

Thank you as always to the parents that help with these days, taking their child or coming along to support, we really appreciate it.

Twilight Sports 

What a great evening and congratulations to our Durkin competitors on a great win.  I was so proud of each and every one of our students on the sportsmanship they displayed and the effort they made in all of the different activities. 

Thank you to our sport captains Archie and Isabel, our House Captains and all of our year 6 students for running each of the events, you did an exceptional job.

Cricket Gala Day

The next event will be for the year 6’s on Monday 7th of November.  They will participate against other schools in a round robin event at Donvale Reserve.  More information is to come and we will inform the students and families as this comes through.  Watch out for an operoo in the coming weeks.

Spotlight on PE - Year 3 - 6

Over the past two weeks our year 3 to 6’s have been engaging in a tennis program run by Kishen and Ben from AdvantEdge Tennis Academy.  The students have participated in rallies and games that rely on them improving their forehand, backhand and volley skills and how to make space on the court.  The students have really enjoyed this program and we look forward to seeing what the next two weeks will bring.  In week 4 the students will be going to HE Parker Tennis courts, where Kishen and Ben will host the students at their club.  Please look out for an operoo in the coming week.
