Netball Gala Day
The South Coast Netball Gala Day was held at the Berkeley complex last Tuesday, 20 June. We had five teams participating, from Years 3 to 6, enjoying the winter sun. The students had a fun day of participation, teamwork and learning new skills. For some of our students, it was their first full game of netball, and learning the rules.
Thank you to our staff, and parents for their support of the students on the day. Thank you to all our students who were well-behaved and displayed good sportsmanship.
