Summer Sports
Day 1 Wrap Up
We are extremely proud of the manner our Year 5 and 6 students recently represented St Simon the Apostle and competed at Day 1 of the Wantirna District Summer Sport contest. Not only did they show excellent collaboration and support of their peers but displayed resilience even when the game was not in their favour. Most importantly, they all seemed to be having fun in their sport.
There was the strong performance of our Girl A cricket team, our Hot Shot Tennis teams and St Simon 1 Softball Girls and Boys lineups on Day 1. Their focus and teamwork has led them to being 1st or 2nd on the ladder.
We do wish to acknowledge the concerted effort of our boys cricketer, Cricket B girls, and St Simon 2 Softball Boys and Girls. The students in these showed determination to score runs when batting and challenged the opposing teams with good bowling and pitching. Each match provided valuable lessons and opportunities for growth.
All teams are regrouping and are pumped to come back stronger again for their Day 2 round robin games and “finals” game.
We ask all parents to please take note of the Knox Division Summer Sport dates listed below if your child’s team comes first or second at the District competition.
