The View

Sport

It’s been another very busy fortnight in Sport for Team Rangeview, here are some of the highlights.

On Tuesday the 27th of August, Rangeview Primary School competed in the Nunawading District Athletic Carnival at Bill Sewart Reserve. Despite extremely windy conditions, our students performed exceptionally well, with 25 advancing to the Whitehorse Division Athletics finals next term. 

Rangeview secured a very close 2nd place in the aggregate and 3rd overall with a points total of 196. A big thank you to the teachers and families who supported our athletes throughout the day.

State Badminton Champions 

 

On Wednesday, 14 of our Level 5/6 students headed to Albert Park to compete in the All Schools Badminton Championships. This was Rangeview’s first time competing in this high-level event, and we were so impressed by the skill level displayed by our students. Both teams secured many wins throughout the day, with our Rangeview 1 team making it to the final and only narrowly being defeated. We congratulate these students on their 2nd place achievement in the State! Thank you to Mr. Anderson and the many parents who helped make this day possible. It is exciting that we now have an inter-school pathway for our amazing badminton players. Keep an eye out for information on the annual Rangeview Badminton Tournament in Term 4!

 

SSV State T-Ball final

 

The countdown is on until our Level 5/6 Boys T-Ball team competes in the State final next Wednesday! The boys have been training every day and can’t wait to get their chance to compete at the State level. Thank you so much to Danielle from Softball Victoria for visiting our team again this week to help with strategy and skills. We really appreciate all your support! Good luck, boys—we are all very proud of you!

 

Uniform cleaning 

 

We kindly ask that any sports uniforms from recent events be returned as soon as possible, as they are regularly needed for multiple sporting activities. Additionally, as we approach the holidays, we are seeking volunteers to help clean some of the uniforms. Many have been returned with tough stains, and a little extra help would be greatly appreciated.

 

If you’re able to assist, please reach out to Meg or myself, thank you to the people who already have!
