🏀Year 11 EIS Basketball Practice Match
On Saturday 10 August, our Year 11 EIS Basketball students hit the court for a practice game against the Goannas Deaf Basketball team, joined by former LHS EIS Basketball teacher, Mr Fyffe.
This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to connect with and learn from such an accomplished team, while also supporting the Goannas as they prepare for the upcoming Deaflympics.
We thank the Goannas for the match and wish them every success in their competition! 🏀👏

🎉🏉 EIS Girls North Melbourne Excursion
Last week we had the exciting opportunity to visit the North Melbourne Football Club and see what an AFLW training day looks like.
We started with a tour of the facilities and were able to sit in on team meetings, where the players split into two groups – defence and ball movement. After that, we laced up our boots and headed outside to watch the players train. We were able to have a kick on the oval, and an injured player came over for a chat. We then enjoyed some time watching the team in the gym before heading back for lunch.
To finish off a great day, Kev took us to Macca’s on the way home!
Overall we all had a great day being able to speak to the coaches and be inspired to pursue our dreams whether that's playing or doing one of the many roles needed to get a football club running smoothly.
Thanks Ms Knight and Mr Rogers for this amazing opportunity.

🏅 Most Valuable Players

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our EIS coaches – Addi and Minnah (Junior Boys), along with Lily, Maggie, Lucy, and Lia for their coaching and scoring support.
Special thanks also to Ms Taylor for assisting with coaching the Junior Boys, and to the parents who attended on the day to cheer and support the teams.
It was a great day of netball, and we are very proud of the way our boys represented the school.
