Winter Carnival Success!
Today, students from Years 3 to 6 represented our school with pride and enthusiasm at the Winter Carnival against Merredin College. After a term of dedicated training during Friday Sport, students showcased their skills in football, netball, and soccer under clear skies and glorious sunshine.
The day was a true celebration of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Our players shone both on and off the field, demonstrating the values we strive to uphold at school.
In netball, the competition was incredibly close, with all teams playing hard-fought matches throughout the day. It was such a tight contest that final placings came down to a three-way countback to determine the overall winners—highlighting just how evenly matched and competitive the games were.
Soccer was equally thrilling, with close contests across all matches. Players demonstrated outstanding teamwork, and it was fantastic to see the improvement in skills, confidence, and collaboration as the day progressed.
A special highlight for our footballers was the incredible opportunity to work with local talents Darcy Dixon, Zach, and Riley Sprigg from the West Perth Football Club. During the bye games, these players generously ran skills sessions and shared their expertise and encouragement with our students. The combined football game involving players from both schools, coaches, umpires, and the West Perth players was a memorable and exciting moment for all involved.
