SOFTBALL

What an awesome day for our Year 8 girls softball team! We played two games, winning one and losing one, but most importantly, the team showed incredible improvement and had so much fun throughout the day. A huge thank you to Liv, Nat, and Gemma from Year 11 for coaching and supporting the team!  

Well done to all the girls for their effort, teamwork, and positive attitude 😊 

BASEBALL

The Year 8 boys baseball team had an outstanding day on the field, winning all of their games and successfully progressing through to the next round later this year ⚾🎉. It was a true team effort, with many students going above and beyond—showing determination, teamwork, and great sportsmanship throughout the day. The players supported each other brilliantly and represented the school with pride. 

A special thank you also goes to our two Year 9 coaches, whose leadership, encouragement, and commitment played an important role in the team’s success 👏. We look forward to the next stage of the competition!
