Netball Schools' Cup

What a great start to term 4 for our Stage 2 students who attended the Netball Schools’ Cup in Wagga. 

15 children from All Saints attended the gala day. 

It began with a skill development session, giving children a quick refresh in the skills of catching and throwing, landing and footwork (which was rarely followed in the game), and shooting (which also proved more challenging in a game situation).

Once the skills sessions were completed, we had 10mins for a quick snack and a drink, and games began. We were able to field 2 teams. One team was a “yellow” team and was managed by Miss O’Sullivan, while the other team wore “purple” bibs, managed by Mrs Middleton. 

The day fell on the 20th October, which is International Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Disease Awareness Day. In recognition of this day, Paige provided all girls (none of the boys wanted them) with purple ribbons, and one of our teams wore purple bibs. 

The day was incredibly busy with very little time for breaks. Everybody did really well, maintaining focus and energy levels, despite being exhausted and hot. Hopefully parents had quiet trips home!
