Basketball

On Tuesday the 24th of August we hosted the Open Boys and Girls Knockout Basketball Carnival with teams from Kapunda, Clare, Burra, Riverton, Peterborough, Gladstone and BHS competing. Our boys' team coached by Mr Jenner, finished the day in 2nd place with 4 wins and 1 loss. While our girls' team coached by Jamie Banwell, finished the day in 4th place playing three very competitive games. Special thanks to Steve Renton, Josh Michael and Dylan Williams our umpires for the day.

Netball

On Wednesday the 1st of September our Open Girls Netball team travelled to Riverton to play off against Burra Community School, Riverton District High School and Clare High School for a spot in the State Final. Our team, coached by Miss Schahinger, won all three of their games with their excellent skills and teamwork. The State Final will be played on Monday the 13th of September at Priceline Stadium. Thanks to Mrs Ruth Stevens our ever reliable and consistent netball umpire.

Open Boys Football

Unfortunately our Open Boys Football team, coached by Ash Parsons, went down by 1 point in the Pool C Statewide Schools Knockout Football State Grand Final against Hallett Cove at Woodville Oval on the 18th of August. We started well and had a 4 goal lead during the opening half but ultimately succumbed to a determined and more disciplined Hallett Cove. Although this was not the result we wanted, we have now made 3 out of 4 State Grand Finals across the last two years so we are on the right track and still improving. Next year we will be back better than ever!

The top 2 players across the series will be acknowledged at our end of term assessmbly.

Ultimate Frisbee

On Thursday the 2nd of September the Stage 2 PE class played their first Ultimate Frisbee match against Horizon Christian School. Each student is responsible for coaching their team with a specific focus (technique, tactics, fitness and motivation) and it was very rewarding to see the past 6 weeks of training and planning put into action. Our next round match will be played in Week 10.
