EMR Netball Championships

What a team! Congratulations to our superstar netballers who represented Rolling Hills at the Eastern Metropolitan Region Netball Championships on Monday the 14th of August. The girls played extremely well together for their 3 pool matches, coming away with one win and two narrow losses. Whilst the girls didn’t make finals this year, what an outstanding achievement to make it to this level of competition! 

Thank you once again to Sally Smith for coaching the girls and to Nicole Donnelly and all the families and friends who supported the girls on the day. Congratulations Amber, Chloe, Leilah, Linley, Lucy, Olivia, Sienna, Sophie and Tyla, we are so proud of you!

Congratulations to our Prep – 2 swimmers for an outstanding week in the pool! We have loved venturing to Aquahub for our lessons this year.
