On Wednesday 15th March, our years 7 – 9 League Tag students competed in the Riverina League Tag Championships at Jubilee Oval. Marian competed against very strong opposition from Wade High, Narrandera High, West Wylong Central and Yanco Agricultural High.

The whole team played well, with a number of stand outs during the 4 games. Players of particular note are: Ella Faronato, Sara Negus, Louisa Suiaki, Shautae Birmingham, Maree Rinaldo, Madelyn King and Siuaki Tuiaki.

Well done Rossana.
