Central Lakes Primary School Netball Festival
Last Wednesday the MAC Year 7A and Year 8A teams went and competed in the Central Lakes Primary School Netball Festival in Alexandra. Both teams had six games and played extremely well in all of them, well done to both teams!
Here are a few words about the day from Year 8 player Zoe Nicholson -
"The Year 8 A netball team had a very successful tournament on Wednesday. We were all stoked with how we played and thought that it was a great opportunity for us to bond and grow as a team."
