Week 6

NON STOP CRICKET

On Tuesday a Year 5/6 team took on other local schools in the LHPSSA non-stop cricket tournament. A late call up, the team did an amazing job and participated with enthusiasm and pride. Special mention to Mackenzie Gwerder who received an individual nomination for showing great spirit and sportsmanship at the event. She received a free swim pass for her efforts! Well done to the whole team.
