Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

On Wednesday 24th of August and Tuesday the 6th of September the year 5 students represented Holy Trinity and St Mary’s in Interschool Sports for Volleyball. This competition took place at Boronia K-12 College and we played against teams from Knox Park, St Judes, Kent Park, Scoresby, Bayswater as well as Boronia K-12.

Our school had two teams play with one team consisting of all girls (Team 2) and one team being a mixed team (Team 1). Both teams played brilliantly in making it to the finals.

In the finals Team 1 won their match against Boronia K-12 but unfortunately Team 2 lost their match against Scoresby.

Overall, we had a couple of great days and everyone learnt so much about playing the game of Volleyball.

Here are a few of the photos from the days …..

Last Thursday a team of 5/6 students were chosen to represent HT in football at Lewis Road Oval. We played three games. In the first game we played against Boronia K-12 where we won by about 6 goals. In the second game we played against Bayswater West where we played well but were beaten by about 30 points. In our final match we played against Scoresby and played a great game where we won by 45 points.

Overall, everyone had a lot of fun representing HT and wish we could have played more matches together.

On Thursday 16 June, two teams were chosen to represent Holy Trinity at T-Ball against other schools in the Scoresby District at Gilbert Park.  Team A had mainly Grade 6 students and Team B had mainly Grade 5 students. Team A won all of their games (3 out of 3) against Kent Park, Scoresby and the other HT team and this meant that they will go to the next level of competition. Team B also played well winning 2 out of their 3 games against Kent Park and Scoresby and only losing to Team A.

Overall, both Holy Trinity T-Ball teams played really well and displayed the TORCH values throughout the day.

Our school also had some big achievements including Wyatt who got first in 1st in freestyle, 1st in the 4 by 50m freestyle relay and 2nd in backstroke. He swam so well that he also was awarded age group champion for 9/10 boys which is a massive achievement.

June, Charlotte, Grace and Liam also helped to win the freestyle relay for the year 4 students. Hamish W also did a great job with coming first in his backstroke race for the Year 3’s.

The Year 5 students also had some really strong performances with some of our winners being Darcy who came 3rd in freestyle, Tyler G who won his backstroke and came 3rd in breastroke and Cara G who came 2nd in breaststroke.

Mia got 3rd in freestyle, Ella D and Lucas got 1st in their breastroke races and Matt got 3rd in backstroke. Jordan and James also swam well to round off a great day for our swim team.

We had other students who may not have earned a ribbon in their race but still contributed to our school’s overall result with earning points in their race.

Overall, as a result of our fantastic efforts Holy Trinity & St. Mary’s were able to achieve 2nd place which is an amazing effort. Congrats to everyone for their participation and hard work!

Overall, it was all heaps of fun and everyone did a great job at consistently displaying the TORCH values whilst representing our school.

The students in Prep to Year 4 are very excited at the moment because this Friday they will all be starting our school swimming program at Swimworld Aquatic Centre in Glen Waverley. Each Friday in term one the Prep to Year 4 students will dressed in their PE uniform (students wear their swimming costumes underneath their uniform) and they will bring everything they will need to be able to swim including their goggles, towel and a bag to carry their wet clothes in afterwards.

Each year level has a set time to catch the bus from school, participate in their swimming lesson and then catch the bus back to school after the lesson. The first students to leave are the year 4s who will depart school at about 9.10 am and the final students (Preps) will return to school at about 1.15 pm.

I spoke to a couple of year three students about their thoughts with the upcoming swimming  lessons and they said that they will looking forward to practising how to dive, learning the different strokes such as freestyle and backstroke and also all the fun safety activities you do such as treading water with extra clothes on. 

We will keep you posted with our swimming lessons over the next few weeks.

Late last term students from Years 5 and 6 represented HT at T-ball. We won all 3 of our games with two of our games being close against Knox Park and Wattleview. In the final game we played Kent Park and won a bit more comfortably. It was great how after each game we shook hands with the other team and said GG (which means good game).

As a result of winning all three game we have qualified to play in the Division competition against the other winners of the District Competitions. This will take place on Thursday of this week.

Overall, we had a great time and are thankful to the other teachers and parents who helped with training and with running the day.

Late last term, a group of year 5 and 6 girls were chosen to represent HT in the Interschool Sports Netball Championships. decided to compete in the Netball.

In our third and final game we played Knox Park and won again 14 to 3 meaning that we ended up winning all 3 games!
