BASKETBALL
The Senior girls team have again qualified for the State finals in the Victorian College Championships. We wish them well at defending the State title they won last year in July.
The Senior boys played some very good basketball but lost 3 games in the last 10 seconds. With a little more defence the boys may have made the semi finals.
JUNIOR GIRLS FOOTBALL
Last Friday the Y7 to Y9 girls participated in the District football competition. They played some good football and drew against Boronia and had a tougher time against Rowville East. The girls where disappointed in the lack of mud on the grounds.
GIRLS INTERMEDIATE SOCCER
The Intermediate Girls Soccer team travelled to Rowville East to play soccer on Tuesday. They came away with a win against Rowville West 6 - 0, a draw against Wantirna, 0 all and a loss to Rowville East 8 - 0. This resulted with the team finishing second on the day. Well done to all.
Fairhills also have teams competing in the Senior Girls Netball & Badminton competitions.
There are a number of sporting events occuring this term, so please listen for announcements & return permission forms promptly to Mr Potter.
