NSWCPS Rugby
In week 10 of Term 2, Josh Jeffrey and Angus Johnson went to compete at Polding for rugby in Forbes. We arrived Sunday and had our first training - we were lucky enough that the NSW rugby coach took our training. On Monday we played 4 games- The Armidale Diocese team won 3 out of 4 games. Josh and I had a lot of game time and played well. - Angus Johnson Yr
POLDING TOUCH TRIALS
In week 10 of Term 2 I went to Port Macquarie to represent the Armidale Diocese at Polding touch football.
We played 6 fast games, we won 2, drew 2 and lost 2 games. The Armidale Diocese were lucky enough to have a NSW female player as our coach. I improved my touch footy skills and learnt how to play at a quicker pace. - Josh Jeffrey Yr 6
AFL - Student Spotlight
On the first week of the holidays I travelled to Coffs Harbour where I played 6 games of AFL with my team ‘North Coast Force'. We had lots of fun and it was great to see all the girls playing and using the skills they have learnt. It was so fun have the opportunity to play with the girls team.
