Skill Development Sports Update! 

Our Omnibus skill development sports are changing over this week, with our Year 4 students moving to Tennis, Year 5 and 6 students transitioning to basketball, and Year 2 and 3 students eagerly taking on striking and fielding. The enthusiasm is palpable as our young athletes embrace new challenges and skills.

 

Cricket Fever! 

Our cricketers are hitting the pitch with exceptional energy and passion, and the results are speaking for themselves. The U11 Blue team engaged in a thrilling contest, narrowly losing by just 3 runs. Meanwhile, the U11 White team had an intense match, emerging victorious by 17 runs, with Sophia Martin and Prayan Dulal providing much-needed stability in the second innings. The U11 Green team is making waves, securing their second consecutive win by over 100 runs, proving to be the team to beat this year. The U13 team is on a winning streak, displaying fantastic teamwork and skill, with players like Harry Price and Andrew Bell scoring runs effortlessly and Liz Croft making an impressive start to her cricketing career with the ball.

 

Basketball Bravery! 

Our basketball teams are showcasing exceptional determination and resilience. The Year 5/6 team competing in the high school competition faced a challenging first game but displayed incredible grit, losing by just 1 point in their second game, much to the pride of Mr. Barrett. We eagerly anticipate their progress in the coming weeks. On the other hand, the Year 3/4 team has had a fantastic start to the season, dribbling and shooting their way to success.

 

Touch Football Takes Flight! 

Our touch footballers have launched into the new season with flying colors, securing several impressive wins. Despite the challenges of commencing the season with ongoing camps, they have filled in when necessary and are eager to dive headfirst into the season with a full contingent from next week.

 

As the summer season unfolds, our Junior School athletes are rising to the occasion with spirit and determination, embracing new sports and showcasing their talents. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in our next newsletter!

 

Wishing all our sports stars a fantastic week ahead.
