Interschool Sport Term One:

This term we have not only completed our ‘Big 3’ school carnivals, but we’ve also participated in some fun interschool sport. The students have played both volleyball and cricket, across the different year levels, and have played fairly, with good sportsmanship always being mentioned at the end of the day.

Term 2 will see netball, football and badminton being offered and I hope more students sign up on the advertising posters around the school, if they’re interested in playing.
