Interschool Netball Gala Day
On Tuesday, 4th of April, five teams of students from Years 5 & 6 participated in the first Interschool Sports Netball Carnival at Bellingara. The teams competed against Catholic schools from the Sutherland Shire and St George area. Our players had a range of netball experience with many of our students new to netball but thoroughly enjoyed learning the skills of a new sport! All teams played competitively, fairly and in true OLF spirit, we finished the day cheering on our Division 1 girl's team in a game in the stadium!
A HUGE thank you to our volunteer coaches - Mrs Barnes, Mrs Woodside, Mrs Khoury, Mrs De Gioia and Mrs Sharratt as well all the umpires, including the OLMC umpires who umpired back-to-back games without a break!
