Primary Sport Update

Welcome to Term 3 Primary Sport!

A lot has already been happening in the first few weeks with after school sports resuming, ‘Come n Try’ starting up for the Year 1s, 2s and 3s, our Year 5/6 Knockout Netball team played their second round of matches, the Year 5/6 Basketball team played their first round of matches and the Cross Country team were involved in the SACPSSA cross country event.

Year 5/6 Knockout Netball

The knockout netball team had been training hard once a week since their Round 1 win towards the end of Term 1. The team had to face St Peter’s Girls, Trinity Gardens PS and Concordia in their second round of matches on Friday 29 July. They fought hard all day and gave everything they had for the purple and gold!

They won the first game convincingly against Concordia (25-14). Next up was Trinity Gardens, who had beaten St Peter’s, so we knew that it was going to be a tough game. Trinity got off to a good start and in the end it was that start that gave them the victory. Our girls won the second half and showed that they had the ability and heart to match it with them (16-23). The last game was against St Peter’s and unfortunately we lost in a close one by a few goals (20-24).

We are so proud of the team for making it through to the second round. The integrity they showed and the never give up attitude that they displayed in all games was amazing. We are looking forward to seeing these girls represent SAC as they move into the secondary school.

Year 5/6 Knockout Basketball

On Monday 8 August our Year 5/6 Knockout team competed in the first round of competition. They were extremely successful, winning all of their pool round games convincingly and making it through to the grand final. They won the Grand Final 27-4 which puts them through to the finals in Term 4. Congratulations to all of the team and we look forward to seeing you do SAC proud in the finals.

Year 3-6 SACPSSA Cross Country

The weather held off for our Cross Country team to compete at the annual event on Thursday 10 August. All participants put in an amazing effort with special mention going to Year 5 student, Maia Burdon, who managed to place 2nd in her event which is no mean feat. Maia has also been selected to be a member of the School Sport SA Under 12 State Team to compete in the National Championships later in the year. Congratulations Maia, we are so proud of you!
