GRADE five and six students from Holy Rosary joined Heathcote Primary School students in a friendly netball match last month.<\/p>\n
The planning was all done by four Heathcote students and played under the newly covered court at Heathcote Primary School.<\/p>\n
“After an inter-school competition last term, students expressed interest in having another game against Holy Rosary students,” said principal Carolyn Crowther.<\/p>\n
“Siobhan, Jess, Lola and Brechaella then set about planning and organising the event<\/p>\n
“Players practiced during break times and through some lessons.<\/p>\n
“It is wonderful that we can enjoy a friendly game with the Holy Rosary students.<\/p>\n
“The schools are walking distance apart so it’s ideal.”<\/p>\n
Siobhan said students enjoyed the process of planning and organising the friendly game.<\/p>\n
“After we enjoyed a friendly competition at Red Energy Arena, we thought we would like to do it again,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Ms Crowther said we could organise a game with Holy Rosary students. We emailed the school and planned a time and place.<\/p>\n
“We also prepared score cards and we practiced netball during our breaks.<\/p>\n
“There were three 15-minute games, and we prepared food and drinks for the breaks.”<\/p>\n
The games were watched by fellow students, teachers and parents. Ms Crowther hopes the friendly competition will continue with another match next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
