Prep had another successful Basketball season. Four teams contested the home and away games against the Greater Public Schools. The results across the season were outstanding with only a few losses.

Prep Basketball Coordinator
To prepare the boys for the season we organised Vicki Sams to come in during Term Two. The boys enjoyed going to her sessions and she was a great help in the skills department. We have continued with our Years 1-3 skills program in Term Four with Vicki Sams and the senior Basketball players from Senior School. The basketball season ends with the ever so popular internal competition for boys in Years 4-6. This year is has been well supported with six teams entered and 8-9 players in each team.

Finally, I would like to thank our Basketball Captain, James Gilmour, who assisted on game day and always keen to help out with training. The boys and coaches appreciated all parents who have supported their sons this season. It was great to see so many parents driving up to Brisbane to watch the games and cheer on each of the teams. Good luck to all the Year 6 Basketball players who are heading to the Senior School in 2016.
Prep basketball would not run as smoothly if it was not for the support from Mr Dave Claxton and his team of Senior boys. Thanks also go to Mr Daniel Trollope for his time and effort. Big thanks to Mr Thomas Peisley for helping organise referees for the Internal Competition. Thanks you also to the coaches for their timeless effort in teaching the boys the skills they require for the GPS Competition.
