Sport Update

Gala Day 

After 2 cancelled Gala Days, students in the Summer PSSA Teams were finally able to enjoy a day of sport and competing with other schools in friendly matches. Thank you to all of the coaches involved for their commitment to their students and training teams during lunchtimes and recces. A big thank you to all of the parents for their support and being great cheerleaders for their children. 

Students engaged in many matches throughout the day against schools within the Horsley Zone. They showed fantastic sportsmanship across the day. Hopefully next year we will recommence the usual weekly PSSA competition for summer sports.

Ball Games Carnival Try Outs 

Last Friday, students in Years 3-6 were given the opportunity to tryout for their house tunnel ball and captain ball teams. Congratulations to the students who have made it into a team. Theses students will now have a couple of weeks of rigorous training in preparation for the Ball Games Carnival in Week 9.

It is a close competition between Cambridge, Parkes and Macarthur in the house points championship and it could all come down to the Ball Games Carnival. The Ball Games Carnival will be held on Friday in Week 9.
