Basketball Gala Day

Our students from Years 3 to 6 had a fantastic time at the Catholic Schools Basketball Gala Days held last week at the Snake Pit. The days were filled with exciting games and  teamwork. It was wonderful to see the students showcase not only their basketball skills, but also their sportsmanship and support for one another. Whether they were seasoned players or new to the game, everyone embraced the spirit of the day with enthusiasm and positive energy. 

A big thank you to Mrs Olima for her outstanding effort in organising and coordinating the event, as well as the many parent helpers on the day. A big congratulations to all the participants for their efforts and for making the event such an enjoyable experience!
