IPSHA Football and Flippa Ball

The IPSHA Football teams came away with five wins and three losses last Saturday. Year 5 and 6 were once again strong in their games, coming away with four wins. A big thank you to the girls who supported other teams by filling in. What great team spirit! The Year 4 teams played against tough opposition, but special mention goes to Monica Zhang for her excellent defence, and Vivienne Goddard and Gigi Rodgers for their goal keeping efforts against Ascham. A reminder that no football studs can be worn when playing on the fields at Ascham.

 

In IPSHA Flippa Ball, the Years 5 and 6 team played against Abbotsleigh. Although the girls didn’t come away with the win, they never gave up and managed two goals after some strong and accurate shooting by Stasia Serafin (Year 6) and Alyssa Kisirwani (Year 5). The girls have been working hard at training to develop their “eggbeater kick” and passing accuracy. Keep up the fantastic work!

 

Student Achievements

Cleopatra Norman (Year 4) participated in the Huskisson Triathlon last weekend in the ‘Tri-Kids’ event and did well across all three legs. She also backed up and ran in the 2.5km fun run, finishing 20th of 117 competitors in the open female category in excellent conditions. Congratulations Cleopatra!
