Fifteen students from Years 5 and 6 attended the Sr Mary Mills Netball Carnival in Cairns last Friday 9th September.  The two teams displayed great netball skills and sportsmanship while experiencing some wins, draws and losses throughout the day!  We are very grateful to St. Gerard Magella for organising such a fabulous carnival.  We also extend a huge thanks to Alicia Johnston for umpiring, Kelly Slattery, Tegan Duiker, Rachael Hodgson, Kerrie Waters for scoring, coaching and providing transport. Congratulations to all of the girls who competed. It was a fabulous display of high quality netball with great technique and skills. An extra big thank you to Mrs Jenkins for coordinating this event and providing this opportunity to our students.

Rugby 9's

On the 1st of September our U11 and U12 rugby league stars took on Tully SS in the Rugby 9's final. The boys played exceptionally well and used their speed and skill to break through the opposition and score four tries. Unfortunately Tully SS managed to just take out the win scoring five tries. Thank you to Mrs Chappel and Mr Nona for all of their work with coaching and managing this team and a special mention to Mrs Lizzio, Brendan Slattery and John Clifford for all of their guidance and support as well as Anthony Emmi for supporting this competition through the local club facilities and refereeing all of the games.

Kind Regards,
