CPSSA Summer Carnival

Last Friday, the Year 5 students participated in the CPSSA Summer Carnival. They played cricket, tennis and ultimate frisbee. The students showed such resilience on a scorcher of a day and wonderful sportsmanship over the course of the tournaments. Our boys' cricket team were undefeated in three matches with some excellent bowling, fielding and batting. Our girls' cricket team had some tough competition but enjoyed themselves as they showed enthusiasm in the field. They were also located next to the sound system and loved demonstrating their dancing skills. The frisbee players had to work and run hard all day without any substitutes. The tennis teams played in the ‘Australian Open’ and the ‘French Open’ pools. The A team had great success and topped their pool to win the coveted trophy. Well done to all of the tennis players who, with their doubles partner, battled the stifling heat on the courts at Noranda. Special thanks goes to Mrs Hunt who managed the boys' cricket team and to those parents who came to support our teams.

Running Club

This Tuesday will be our last Running Club for 2018. Students who have been regular attendees will receive a certificate to show the distances they have run over the course of the year. Special mention goes to Luke (6M), Nicholas D (4G) and Lily (3G)  who have completed over 42km. Those who attend our last club can enjoy wearing 'Crazy Socks' for the duration of the day. Thanks to all of the parents, grandparents and siblings who have joined our students in an early morning run this year. Running Club will recommence in Term 2, 2019.

Swimming Club

This Wednesday will be our last Swimming Club for 2019. It has been a great success with up to 35 participants each week. These children have shown such commitment with the early start of 7 o’clock. Swimmers have worked hard to improve their strokes, fitness, speed and diving. Thank you so much to Kelly Dols and Chris Lambert who have led our Year 3 and Year 4 swimmers. Keep swimming through the Summer and we look forward to our OLA Carnival mid-March 2019.
