DISTRICT BASKETBALL
Last week we had our Boys’ and Girls’ basketball teams compete in the Rowville District Basketball tournament. The competition was very strong, with both our teams competitive without being able to secure a win in the early games. I was extremely pleased to see the improvement throughout the day and their persistence paid off, with both teams securing a win in their final minor play-off match to finish the day on a high. I want to thank the students (Oaklee & Lucy 5A, Piper, Ryan & Tyler 5B, Madi & Harper 6A, Harvey, Huddie, Jemma & Evie 6B, and Isaac, Levi, Caleb, Jacob, Jasmine, Nevaeh, Layla, & Ava 6C) for their dedication to training sessions and their behaviour and effort on the day. I also want to thank all of the parents who helped coach (Brent Airs & Daniel Robb), score (Candice Komodromos & Sarah Way), or simply support the kids throughout the day in such a positive manner.
DIVISION SOCCER
This week we had our Boys’ Soccer team competing at the Knox Division Soccer finals after finishing 2nd at the District competition. They had a great start to the tournament by winning 6-1 against Our Lady of Lourdes Primary. Next, was a tightly contested 2-2 draw with Mountain Gate Primary. A victory in the final pool game would have seem them progress to a playoff match, but unfortunately we lost 0-3 against Holy Trinity. Again, I have to commend the behaviour of students and the incredible support crew of parents that were there, I’m really proud of the way we conducted ourselves throughout the day regardless of the result. Congratulations to the team of for making to the Divisional stage!
