Hoop Time State Finals

On Thursday 24th November, our St James Bears Future Stars team competed in the State Finals for Basketball. Thank-you to Lachie D for stepping in for me as coach and Dave P for scoring. It was a very challenging day but lots of fun with showbags, a parade of all the teams and even a professional photo shoot. Well done to all players involved and parents who were able to take them. 

Well done Katie!

Well done to Katie Z who yesterday competed at the School Sports Victoria golf division finals at Ranfurlie Golf Club.  Katie is now through to the State Final, she is very excited to be going out to Gisborne for the final next week.  We wish you all the best Katie.

St James Swimming Program and Carnival

Over the past two weeks it has been fabulous to have our swimming program back up and running. The staff have been incredibly proud of the students. So many examples of students doing their best, showing courage and bravery, supporting each other and building resilience. How amazing are our kids! 

Well the carnival went ahead. Albeit without the organizer. A huge thank-you to all who stepped up and in to make it happen. I heard it was crazy and there was a lot of madness but there were also many smiles and a lot of fun. .
