South Eastern Zone Football
Over the past fortnight, our Year 7&8 footballers competed in the South Eastern Zone one-day tournaments at Lloyd Elsmore Park. The teams were great ambassadors for our school and put together some exciting performances. A special mention goes to our Year 7 Boys team whose final two games went to extra-time and penalties. The boys held their composure and came away victorious in both games, well done.
