Term 4 PE and Sport Newsletter
Term 4 is off to a fantastic start, with plenty of exciting sporting events and opportunities for our students to get involved!
Division Athletics Carnival
In the first week of Term 4, six students represented our school at the Division Athletics Carnival, and they all performed extremely well. A special congratulations to Mabel Cousland, who qualified for Regionals! We wish her all the very best as she takes on this next challenge.
Senior Hoop Time
Last Friday, we had three teams compete at the Senior Hoop Time Regional Finals: one Mixed team and two Girls teams. All three teams played exceptionally well, with the Mixed team and one of our Girls teams progressing to the finals.
Both teams played some fantastic games but unfortunately went down in the final. They should be incredibly proud of their efforts, teamwork and the way they encouraged and supported one another throughout the day.
A huge thank you to all the parents who came along to cheer on our students and show their support!
Our Junior Mixed Future Stars team competed today in the Regional Finals. After a fantastic day of play, the team unfortunately went down in the final ending their run. Congratulations to all for a great effort!
Prep–Year 2 House Cross Country
What an amazing day we had at our Prep–Year 2 House Cross Country this week! All the training and hard work throughout the term truly paid off, with the students giving it their all and showing fantastic determination.
Congratulations to Moneghetti House for taking out the win on the day! A big thank you to everyone who came along to support the students and cheer them on. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and house spirit!
