(: Year 6 Safety Swimming Day :)

(: Year 6 Safety Swimming Day :)

Today the year 6’s participated in a ‘Safety around Water’ program at Knox Leisureworks to boost their knowledge and confidence about water safety. During this program we accomplished a series of activities including throw and pull in rescue, throw rescue, 25 metre freestyle and 25 meter any stroke. We also had to tread water for 2.30 minutes and then float for another 5 minutes. The best part of the day was at the end of the session when everyone went on the water slide. Today everyone show confidence, respect and we all tried to do the best we could.

Great job grade 6’s!

5/6 Summer Sports Tennis

Last week the 5/6s were were lucky enough to have their first summer sports day. They had a choice to play tennis, softball, volleyball or cricket. I will be telling everyone about how we did at tennis.

In the first game the boys A team played against Sr Bernadette’s and we won 7 to 4. In the next the Boys A team went up against Wattleview and we lost 1 to 11. In the third match HT played against Knox Gardens and we defeated them 11 to 1.

In the boys B team games HT played against Wantirna South, they won against us 4 to 7. After that was HT vs Wattleview again, we lost 0 to 12. There was then HT vs Scoresby, and we won 10 to 2.

In the girls A team games HT lost their first game against Wattleview 0 to 12, won their second game against Scoresby 10 to 2 and their third game against Knox Gardens 10 to 2.

In the girl B games HT won their first game against Boronia 7 to 5. The other two games were against boys teams with one game against St. Bernadette’s boys which ended up 6 all but on a count back they won more points altogether meaning they won the match. In their last match they played Wantirna South Boys and lost 3 to 9. The girls B team will automatically play in a final in our next round.

Overall the 5/6s had a lot of fun participating in tennis summer sports.

The girls softball team went really well this year. We are District and Division champs and since Thursday runners up in the Eastern Metropolitan Region. We started the day with a draw against Milgate PS with the score being 10 – 10. The second game we played was against Hartwell PS which we ended up winning in a very close match. The final Pool game was also a win against St. Judes 14 – 4. After a little break the girls prepared for the grand final. We faced a very good team, which included the SSV Victorian State Pitcher, and lost 4 to 9. We all played really well, learnt lots about Softball and improved with each game.
