SPORTS REPORT, WEEK 7

School Sports Uniform

Could all Year 3–6 students please return any borrowed School Sports Uniform items including football socks on the next day that are back at school. We need to complete a stocktake before any future competitions. Many thanks for your support.

Senior Girls’ Football

Last Thursday our Year 5 and 6 Girls’ Football team represented our school in the District football competition held at Russells Creek Oval. We were blessed with the weather which made for a great day. The girls represented themselves and our school exceptionally well. We had some great games against other schools, but to the girls' credit, they were able to win all games to secure a spot in the Grand Final against St Patrick's School, Koroit. The girls were victorious in this match! Huge thanks to Mr. O’Brien for coaching our team, and well done girls on a fantastic day.

Hooptime Basketball

Due to the current Covid Restrictions in Regional Victoria, both Hoop-Time Tournaments have been postponed. We will let you know the new dates for both the Year 3/4 and the Year 5/6 competitions as soon as we know them.

AFL 9’s - Year 3/4

Last Friday, we finally gained the opportunity to take some very enthusiastic Year 4 students to the Mack Oval at the Russell’s Creek Football Club. All students were divided into mixed teams, and played 6 games each. We had some of our Year 6 House Captains and School Captains assist with the coaching of the teams, alongside some Emmanuel College students as the Umpires. It was a fantastic event ran by our local AFL coordinator, which gave all the students a chance to socialise with other schools, practice new football skills with different students from their own school and learn to enjoy playing for fun and not the score!

All our students were a credit to the logo they wore and we know they would be feeling grateful for that chance. Thank you to the staff that helped our teams on the day, and especially for the invaluable leadership skills demonstrated by our Year 6 School Leaders.
