Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

On Wednesday the 26th June some of the 5/6 girls represented HT in the Interschool Sports Round Robin competition. Our girls made it into the Division 1 playoffs because we had won our games from the first day of competition a couple of weeks ago. In our first game today we played against Bayswater South which was a really tough game and the final outcome was 1-1. The next game was against St Bernadette’s (we won against them on our first day) and again we won this time 2 – 0. Our final game was against St. Judes which was the game that all the girls wanted to win the most since we are sister schools. Thankfully, we won this game 3 – 0.

Overall the HT girls soccer team tied for district champion and will be off to play in the division championships on the 2nd Wednesday of next term. Great stuff girls on your performance over the two days.

On Tuesday the 11th of June our 5\6 soccer team participated in winter school sports.

The boys soccer team didn’t have the best start losing to St. Bernadette’s 0-6. In our second game we played against Boronia and we smashed them 13-0. In the boys last game we played against Wattleview and it took a lot of our adrenalin to play it. In the first half no one managed a goal but in the second half there wasn’t a goal for a while until we finally got a goal in the last vital seconds of the game. We all celebrated the 1-0 victory.

The girls soccer team firstly played against St. Bernadette’s and they finally won a tough contest 7 to nil. In the second game we played against Boronia K-12 and again we again we won 7 to nil. In our final contest we played against Wattleview and we played a great game winning 10 to nil.

In the end both the Holy Trinity boys and girls made it through into the finals.

Thank you to Mrs Harrison and Mrs Dowling for coaching us.

Today (11th of June) some of the girls from the 5/6 level girls competed in our Interschool Winter Sports Netball Tournament  HT had three netball teams, Aqua, Blue & Cyan. We had eight girls in each team and we all played three games. We competed against three other schools, St Bernadettes, Wattleview and Boronia K – 12. Our Aqua team won 2 out of 3 games, our Blue team won all 3 of their games and Cyan won 1 out of 3 games (including a draw in one game). It was a great effort from everyone and we all had a really fun and exciting time.

Thank you to Miss Nevin and Miss Ryan for all your fantastic coaching skills as well as umpiring all the games and supporting us throughout the day. We can’t wait until our next games in two weeks time. 😀

Over the last few weeks all students have been having fun in PE lessons. They have been developing their kicking skills, knowledge and game sense related to soccer. Each Monday we have been lucky enough to have Melbourne Victory development officers assist me in PE and with training our Senior Inter school Boys and Girls soccer teams at lunchtime. Overall, the students are having lots of fun as well learning lots of new skills.

Last Friday Holy Trinity competed against many other primary schools in the Knox area including St. Jude’s. St. Bernadette’s and Boronia K-12 at the District Swimming Carnival.

Each Tuesday the students in the swim team had to get up very early and go down to Knox Leisureworks pool for swimming practice.  It was hard work but last Friday we enjoyed the successes of our hard work because HT came first in the competition. This means that we have won the district swimming competition nine years in a row (even before I began school at HT). There is a group of boys and girls who will be going away for the next level of competition in the next couple of weeks.

Here are some pictures from last Friday.
