Girls' Netball, Round 2
The Brisbania P.S Girls' netball team hosted Kincumber in a tough second round match. The girls played fantastic netball in front of an excited stage 3 crowd. Ari and Josie took turns in shooting some excellent goals, while Madison and Olivia combined well to send the ball frequently down to the shooter's end. In defence, our girls were also great, with Darcie and Claire stopping numerous goal attempts from the Kincumber attack. All girls demonstrated great team work and should be very proud of their efforts. Congratulations girls and good luck in round three!

A spirited comeback from Niagra Park however, saw the home team claw their way back to within one goal. Our girls remained composed however, and were able to seal the victory with a few late goals. Congratulations girls and good luck in the second round! Thank you also to the parents and our stand in coach for the day, Mrs Whelan.

Our boys batted courageously but were unable to make the required amount of runs. The boys all played with great sportsmanship and had a fantastic time. Well done Boys!

Well done to Lachlan in his efforts at the boys Soccer trials for the Sydney North Team. Lachlan was selected in the top 22 players out of 85 and narrowly missed selection in the team. Fantastic effort, Lachlan!!

We are all looking forward to out C.A.R.E.S bike education day this week and Thursday next week. I'm sure the students will have a great day and learn a lot about bike safety and how to use the roads safely using road rules.
