Year 5/6 Winter Sports Day in Bunbury

Year 5/6 Winter Sports Day in Bunbury

The Year 5 and 6 students represented our College at the South West Primary Schools Association (SWPSA) Winter Sports Carnival on Thursday 8 June, at Hay Park in Bunbury. Students chose to participate in hockey, netball, football or soccer in teams against other schools, on what turned out to be a gorgeous winter’s day with sunny blue skies.

Over 150 of our Primary students attended the carnival, making up five soccer teams, five netball, two hockey and two Aussie Rules teams.  The carnival’s focus was to have fun affiliating and collaborating with the ten other Catholic and Independent schools from the South West region (Bunbury, Capel, Dalyellup, Busselton and Dunsborough). The teams played a round robin tournament up to six games across the day.

It was a great day with beautiful warm weather, and we were fortunate, once again, to have many parent volunteers to coach the 14 teams. Mr Paul Culnane also organised for 21 Secondary students to referee both for our students and for OLC. The students who represented our school on the day were all well-behaved, showing respect to others in the school community and demonstrating good sportsmanship.

Thank you all for your support, and to Mrs Nadia Farmer for organising the day.
