Primary Disco

Jo Dunn on 14/11/2018

On Friday 9 November, our little groovers in Pre Primary – Year 6 enjoyed a night full of music, dancing and FUN!

A special thanks to the Primary Social Committee and the Primary teachers who made this whole night possible.

Student Reflections

At the disco I had so much fun. It was a blast. It had fun and happy songs to dance to and they gave out lots of candy. Sounds fun, right?

Annabel Lynch, Year 2 Blue

 

I really liked the karaoke part of the disco where everyone got to sing, and the DJ gave out prizes to good dancers and some of the singers. Every now and again there was a conga line and everyone joined so it got REALLY big. I liked watching how everyone was dancing, no-one just sat at the back!

IPSHA Touch Rugby Carnival

Jo Dunn on 13/11/2018

On Thursday 8 November, 30 Year 6 students were selected to represent ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ at the IPSHA Touch Rugby Carnival at John XXIII College. We had three teams of 10 students that participated in the carnival, all of which showed great sportsmanship and had heaps of fun! There was seven rounds throughout the day, where we competed against eight schools including ÐãÐãÖ±²¥. All teams did really well and we congratulated each other on each of our achievements. On behalf of all the Year 6 students that participated in the carnival, we would like to thank Mrs Horn, Mrs Zelich and Mrs Short for preparing and coaching us. We would also like to thank Tranby College for hosting and John XXIII College for providing the venue on which the event was held.

AFL Girls Dockers Cup

Jo Dunn on 12/11/2018

In Weeks 4 and 5 of this term, students from Years 5 – 9 participated in the 2018 AFL Girls Dockers Cup held at City Beach Oval.

Years 5 & 6

This year we had two teams entered in the Years 5 & 6 Dockers Cup. The girls played impeccably well and went down in the Grand Final to Iona by five points. Congratulations to Madeline Peou who was awarded woman of the match for the Grand Final. Thank you to Mrs Lisa Webb for assisting me with coaching the girls and thank you to the Year 10 ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ students who umpired on the day.

Years 7, 8/9

Trials for the tournament started weeks ago, with ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ entering a Year 7 team and a combined Year 8 and 9 team. A big thank you to every student who came along to trials. Unfortunately with limited places we had to leave some great players behind, however this is an awesome testament to women’s AFL.

The Year 7 girls had a great day on the field , with the girls constantly showing enthusiasm and school pride throughout the day. The team finished with one win and two losses, but it is safe to say the future of women’s AFL at ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ is very bright. A big congratulations to Matilda Simpson who was awarded Year 7 Player of the Carnival, and thank you to Mr Nathan Wear for his coaching expertise on the day.

Year 9 Specialist AFL classes have been putting in some hard work this year and this showed ithroughout the tournament. Under the coaching of Mrs Webb, the Years 8/9 team showed courage, determination and a lot of skill, finishing the day undefeated. Unfortunately so did five other schools, resulting in ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ narrowly missing out making the Grand Final on percentage. Sportsmanship is the word that comes to mind as ÐãÐãÖ±²¥ offered a struggling Perth Modern team four of our own players in the final game. We may not have won the tournament but the spirit showed by our players was amazing! A big thank you to Mrs Lisa Webb who coordinated the trials and training sessions in the lead up to this competition. Congratulations to Charlotte Adams (Year 9) who received Player of the Carnival.

A big thank you to the Year 10 specialised Girls AFL class who umpired the tournament. It was great to see your skills learnt in class applied in the real world. Great work.

Year 10 River Cruise

Jo Dunn on 07/11/2018

On Tuesday 6 November, the Year 10 students rounded off their social calendar with a River Cruise on the Swan River. The theme was to dress up as your initial and we had a variety of characters on the ferry.
The students danced to the disco music and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Some of the costumes featured were Cinderella, the late Steve Irwin, Men in Black, a range of cowboys and cowgirls to name a few. As always the students were in fine form and appreciated their final social event before their end of year exams.
