On Wednesday, our school hosted the Hastings Zone Soccer and Netball Carnival. Our incredible soccer and netball teams played extremely well, especially considering the recent rain had disrupted our training plans. It was a fantastic day, and I am so proud of all our teams.
A big thank you to the teachers who coached and assisted on the day. Thank you to Mr Marshall, Mrs Steep, Mrs Peck, Mrs Toole, Mrs Hayward, Mrs Wilson, and the brilliant Bec. Thank you also to Stuart Bate for your assistance with setup and for coaching our girls' soccer team. A huge thank you to Emma and her wonderful team for all the work you did leading up to the day, as well as on the day.
On Thursday, our Stage 2 and 3 students travelled to Port Macquarie for the League and League Tag 7s competition. It was such a fantastic day, with many students discovering a new love for a new sport. The red, smiling faces and wonderful team spirit and sportsmanship reminded us all how special these gala days are.
