AllSchools Touch Football

Well done to all of our students that trialled for our AllSchools Touch football teams. It was extremely challenging narrowing our students down to the selected teams but also really exciting with how much talent we have coming through the grades as our programs continue to grow. Congratulations to the students that were selected in the team! A massive thank you to Mrs Fenech, Mr Ireland and Mr Baker for their time and dedication to helping with the touch program and coaching our teams in the lead up to the carnival.  

Year 3 and 4 Intra School Gala Day

Last week our year 3 and 4 students competed in their intraschool Gala Day. The year 3 students competed in a full day of netball and end ball tournament while our year 4 students competed in their full day touch tournament. 

Our House Captains ran a session with their teams about our Tally Way sportsmanship and gamesmanship which focused on playing hard but respectfully. The level of competition was fantastic and the games were exciting to watch. Our House Captains did an amazing job of officiating the games and our players demonstrated the Tally Way at all times. After 5 intense rounds of games our students settled into the finals. Thank you to our year 3 and 4 teachers, Scotty, and Mr Simpson for their help on the day. 

Prep and Year 1 Swimming

Well done to all of our Prep and Year 1 students who completed their water safety program with Sunny Skyes Swim School. Our students stepped out of their comfort zone and learned new water skills - a big winner for the week was the Pyjama Day where they demonstrated what they had learnt in the water fully dressed. Well done swimmers! Next term our year 3 students will be having their swimming program. 

Gala Day – Years 5 & 6

Well done to all of our Year 5 and 6 students who competed in their final Gala Day for the year! We had some great feedback from the other schools on how well our teams competed but also on their respect towards the officials and sportsmanship. Well done Team Tally. 

Year 5 and 6 Recreational Sport

Next term our Year 5 and 6 students will take part in our recreational sport program on Friday afternoons. This Friday sport program allows our students the opportunity to pick and try out a recreation or adventure sport for 6 weeks during school time.

More information on this has been posted to ClassDojo.
