Each Friday this term 25 of our secondary students have particpated in interschool sport; competing in football and netball against a range of specialist schools from around metropolitan Melbourne. Our students have not only played their very best in their perspective sport, they have demonstrated great team work and sportsmanship as well as being enthusiastic and supportive spectators. Our PE teachers Sarah Kelly and Larni Connell along with our coaching team of Julian Dutton, Tanya Induni, Maree Santamaria, Nick Rama and Jasmine Lewis are all very proud of each and every one of our students. At the end of the term students participate in a much loved carnival day where they play a round robin series of matches against five different schools. While our footballers played extremely well teaming up with Rossbourne School to ensure they had a full team, becoming known as Rosswood, it was our netballers who won each of their matches and brought home the championship trophy. Congratulations to our netball team, your excitement when you arrived back at school with the trophy and winner's ribbons was priceless.
Many thanks to all the families who attended our Specialist Showcase last Thursday afternoon. It was delightful to see you experiencing firsthand, alongside your children, the wide range of specialist programs our students engage in throughout their week at school. The event was a wonderful experience for everyone involved, and I would sincerely like to extend my gratitude to our specialist teachers. They are all highly skilled and passionate educators dedicated to their chosen fields:
