Our Year 8 girls netball team competed in the District Netball tournament yesterday afternoon.
These girls have made Mrs Ferreira so proud this term, they listen to instructions given, they are kind to each other on and off the court, they all personally developed in each game as the tournament progressed, and they gave everything.
All their effort and dedication paid off as they won the tournament and are now the District Netball Champions. Congratulations Girls!
