We are pleased with the enthusiasm the girls have started their sporting year with

In Futsal 4 teams are playing in the weekly futsal competition after school on Thursdays. They got off to a very good start on the 21st and play right through until April 11th. It is great to have seniors Charlotte Williams and Lily Stedman coaching the Year 9 & 10 teams. Players of the Day for week 1 were Devon Crosland, Caitlyn Petrie, Kimberley Wiparata and Grace Corbett. 

At this time, we remind players and supporters of the importance of positive playing and sideline behaviours. Remember sport is about valuing the opposing team’s efforts and making sure everyone enjoys the game. Here are some tips to remind us all of how to show Respect in sport:
