Saturday Sport

Last Saturday was the final round for IPSHA Netball, IPSHA Minkey/Hockey, and Year 3 Touch Football. A big shout out to the 5C Netball team who managed to score five goals in their final game. Well done girls. Ms Moar was proud of your efforts. Special mention must also go to the Year 4 Minkey team, who found the goal on three occasions and had a strong finish to their season. The Year 3 Touch Football teams continued to expand their skills and their passing was a highlight from the weekend, which was even praised by opposition coaches. Well done to Matilda Thorpe for scoring her first try of the season. Congratulations to all Term 2 Saturday sports teams.

Please note, any requests now to join a Saturday sport for Term 3 will be dependent on availability as team numbers have already been submitted.
