On the 28th of July, all of the 3/4 students went on a very cool excursion to the State Basketball Centre to participate in the Knox Hoop Time Competition. The students from Holy Trinity and St. Mary’s competed against teams from Mountain Gate and Knox Park Primary schools.

For many students this was the first time they had participated in a competitive basketball match.

This is what a few students thought of the 3/4 Hoop Time day ….

Grace: “I thought the day was very fun and it was nice to come first with my team.”

James: “I  thought it was an amazing day (even better than I thought I would be).”

Hamish: ” It was exciting to be able to play against other schools and I thank Mr. D for organising this for the 3/4 students.”

Charlotte: “Everyone really enjoyed the day and I had a lot of fun playing the games against other teams.”

Holy Trinity had a very successful day winning both the All Star boys and girls competition as well as the Future Star boys and girls taking out the titles in their competitions. More importantly, it was great to see how so many students gained so much confidence as they played more games and how everyone displayed the TORCH values throughout the day.  Overall, the 3/4 Hoop Time was very cool for all the students.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our wonderful parents who volunteered their time with coaching and scoring during the day. Also, another thank you goes to Mr. D for all of his organising of this day and for the 3/4 staff who assisted on the day.

Here are a few photos from 3/4 Hoop Time day.
