What a fantastic day for our Stage 3 boys and girls teams! Our students showed great teamwork, perseverance and determination throughout the day, supporting one another, encouraging their teammates and giving every game their absolute best. It was wonderful to see them demonstrate such positive sportsmanship, resilience and a willingness to keep trying, no matter the challenge. We are so proud of the way they represented our school both on and off the field! ๐๐โฝ๏ธ
