Sport News from Mrs McCarthy
STAFF v HOUSE CAPTAINS SPORT
At the end of term 1, we had our first staff v student basketball game of the year. The house captains played well but were no match for the mighty staff! After going down 36-5, they were quick to tell us that it will be a very different result in term 2 when we play soccer. Time will tell!
