They are not playing for spectators\u2019 entertainment, nor are they miniature professionals.<\/li>\n<li>Applaud good performances and efforts from each team. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game\u2019s outcome.<\/li>\n<li>Respect the officials\u2019 decision.<\/li>\n<li>Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition.<\/li>\n<li>Positive comments are motivational and encourage continued effort.<\/li>\n<li>Show respect for your team\u2019s opponents. Without them there would be no game.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials\u2019 decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using foul language, or harassing players, coaches or officials.<\/li>\n<li>Comments should not interfere with the running of the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Year 1 AFL Team<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A few Year 1 students have been heavily involved in AFL and play in a club team for the Moore Park Tigers. The girls kicked off their season last Saturday with a strong game against Maroubra Saints. The team had a positive start to the season, played well, and even scored a few goals. Another highlight for them was singing the team song at the end. Well done to the team and great to see them enjoying their AFL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25379 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/04\/Year-1-AFL.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Important Sports Dates:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Saturday 2 May: Year 3 Touch Football, IPSHA Minkey\/Hockey and IPSHA Netball competitions commence (check Clipboard for times and locations).<\/li>\n<li>Thursday 18 June: Primary Athletics Carnival (K-6).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful week and all the best to all our Saturday sport teams for their first round!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr Adrian Hammond<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Primary Sport Coordinator<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Term 2 Saturday sport competitions begin this week.
