Netball 2023 Wrap Up

We celebrated our end of season last Friday night. 

Very casual presentation in the school auditorium with pizzas on hand. 

Special thank you to our amazing coaches this year. Lil Kelly coached our Under 9’s and Dee 

Duffy our Under 11’s. Their commitment and coaching knowledge far exceeded expectations. We are very grateful to have two amazing coaches. Thankyou for your support. 

Special thank you also to team managers Cait Alletsee and Jasmine Zak. They both agreed parents support made their roles very easy this year. Congratulations to all players who got to take home a SNA medal and gift pack to say thank you for the effort they have put in for 2023. Special mention to Danika Daunt who assisted training on Thursdays.

As always, netball starts at the start of school term in 2024. Please keep a look out early in St Luke’s newsletters and other forums. We’d love to see a few more teams in our St Luke’s colours on the court next year.

Congratulations to Halle Duffy who after extensive trials has been selected in the SNA 2023 development squad. This will be an amazing opportunity for Halle and wish her all the best. Well done Halle.
