Sporting Schools Grants

Last year Trina applied for and received a Lawn Bowls Grant in Term 3 and a Table Tennis Grant in Term 4, which resulted in the students being trained in the skills of those 2 sports during PE lessons, and the school receiving enough equipment necessary to successfully teach these sports to a whole class of children at a time. This year, Trina applied for Soccer in Term 2 and Hockey in Term 3. This term the grant will provide the school with more hockey equipment and a hockey coach who will deliver an in depth hockey skills program, with Trina’s assistance, during Monday’s PE lessons Week 5,6,8, and 9.

Sapsasa Basketball Year 4/5 and Year 6/7 girls and boys teams

The Year 4/5 Basketball championships were held on Monday 7th August and the Year 6/7 competition on Wednesday 9th August at Morphett Vale. We entered a boys team and a girls team in both competitions.

The Year 4/5 teams both finished second in their respective pools after 3 games. This saw them both play off for a chance in the Grand Final, but unfortunately both teams were defeated. All players displayed tenacity, team work and great sportsmanship.

In the 6/7 competition all players had a great day and learnt a lot throughout the experience. The boys won 3/6 games and never gave up trying. The girls won 6/6 to finish first in their pool but unfortunately lost the crossover grand final, finishing second for the day.

Thank you to Sheena, Tammy, Kerry, Mitchell, Tyann, Shanice and Rebecca for coaching on the two daysp and to the numerous parents who scored or who were timekeeper for the games. It was great to have so many spectators cheering us on, too. Once again, I am exceptionally proud of all the students and the great sportsmanship and team spirit shown. Congratulations to all.

Thanks to Brett for coaching the team, for running practice on a Tuesday and for being such a positive, encouraging coach. I know the boys learnt a lot. It was lovely to have our supporters there cheering us on. Thank you to all who attended and sent well wishes for the game. Thank you also to Amanda for assisting us there and back on the bus.

Without all these people who volunteer and assist us in Sapsasa events, the students would not get these opportunities. We are very grateful.
