Over the Father’s Day weekend I had the privilege to attend one of our year 5 students Ice Hockey Games. Oliver O’Carroll in year 5 not only an athlete on land, but also on the ice! 

While I strolled in coffee in hand, Oliver was already on the ice practicing with his team. They practiced like a well oiled machine, all knowing what they need to do and how to prepare for the upcoming match. It was an incredibly fast paced game. I was impressed with how fast Oliver can travel on land, blown away by how fast he can travel on ice! I noticed very quickly that Oliver was a very important cog in the machine. Making a very significant impact whenever he hopped on the ice. It was an excellent game! Importantly, Oliver had a great time playing and had a great game with his team. Well done Oliver! We look forward to hearing more of your ice adventures!

In his first season of Hockey, year 4 student Spencer Zukerman's team made it all the way through to a very tough Grand Final.  Playing in pouring rain and on artificial turf for the first time they managed to come home with the trophy. Spencer set up the first 2 goals which was very exciting but came off and said "Does that mean Basketball starts next week"!!

Congratulations to Grace Prince of year 5 whose team placed second at the State Basketball Championships last weekend. Norths Bears U12s won each of their games to make it to the Grand Final against Manly. Scores were tied at full time, but after nail-biting extra time, they went down by three points. A fantastic achievement Grace, to collect the silver medal at State level, well done!
