Year 7 Cricket

On Wednesday 2 April, myself, Joel Gunn, and James Atkinson had the privilege of taking the Year 7 boys out for their Interschool Cricket Event, held at The Llewellyn in Scoresby. 

Our day started nice and quickly, with our first game being just after we hopped out of the bus.  After choosing a Captain, getting the boys prepared and having a thorough chat we felt very confident, and the energy was high.  We started the day by playing Upway B team; we batted first and played well. Next was Upway A, with Rowville last. We won against Upway B but we lost to Upway, and Rowville. We scored 87 against Upway A, 100 againts up way B, and 57 against Rowville. 

In our third and last game of the day against Rowville, we had many players perform well, Aidain Griffin starred, followed closely by Nate Appleton. We unfortunately went down, but not without a fight. Fortunately, the team's confidence and energy stayed the same way throughout the whole day. 

The boys showed maturity throughout the day, with encouragement, leadership, and teamwork. The year 7 boys played very well and looked like they had a lot of fun across the whole day, we had multiple spectacular individual performances, but much better than that, we had 3 consistent great team performances. Although we only won 1 of our 3 games, the results had no negative effect on us whatsoever. The boys were loving their time playing together either way! 

Overall, everyone participating thoroughly enjoyed the day. Special thanks to Ms Watt for keeping the day running smooth and my co-coaches Joel Gunn and James Atkinson for being great coaches and helping each other out wherever needed.

Lawn Bowls

On Tuesday 29 May, Mrs Dennison and I headed out with the 3 x Junior and 3 x Senior Lawn Bowls teams. Though it was a chilly day, the Wantirna teams showed unwavering effort and sportsmanship throughout the day to both with each other and their opponents. The highlight of the day was when the Junior Wantirna 3’s managed to make the Grand Final whilst all other teams were on the side lines being the loudest supporters, we have ever heard. Unfortunately, the 3’s lost 7-6, and narrowly missed out on making it to State. Overall, it was a successful day out and Mrs Dennison and I left proud of the teams that came out with us. 

Lawns bowls was fun even though we didn't get the good result, we all improved! ~ Jordan P

The day was great, we learnt the rules of (lawn) bowling and got to verse many schools that had great lawn bowls players as well!  The Wantirna three’s team made it very far, reaching the grand final but sadly just missing out on the win by one point. Overall, the day was fun and enticing, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone to try out next year. ~ Archie C

On Tuesday 29th of April we went out to regional lawn bowls with one of our junior teams advancing to the grand final but unfortunately not making it to state, however the day was pretty successful with us all having a great time and supporting one another.
