Congratulations to Audrey Little, Year 12, who was awarded a NSW Swifts Training Partner contract for 2022. This is the pinnacle team for NSW that competes in the strongest international competition Suncorp Super Netball. Congratulations Audrey and we wish you all the best for the 2022 season. Congratulations again to Audrey Little, Year 12, who was selected in the Under 19 Years NSW state team, and to Grace Whyte, Year 10, and Eugenie Little, Year 10, who were selected in the Under 17 Years NSW state team.
Nationals were due to be held in Hobart, Tasmania, but unfortunately were cancelled at the last minute due to restrictions. The players and coaches had already made their way to Hobart and were preparing for the competition when Netball Australia made the difficult decision to cancel the tournament. Despite the cancellation, Australian Squads were named for additional regionalised training camps in December. Congratulations to Audrey Little, Year 12, and Grace Whyte, Year 10, for inclusion in the development camps. Mrs Gin Welsh, Head Coach – Netball Captain of Netball, Audrey Little

JUNIOR SCHOOL NETBALL REPORT
Term 2 was IPSHA Netball season with Saturday mornings buzzing with our Netball program. The courts were filled with excited young athletes from Years 3 to 6 playing exciting and very competitive games of netball. Many thanks to the wonderful coaches who ensured the girls developed their netball skills while having lots of fun in the process. Additional thanks to our umpires for their patience and kind explanation of the many rules of netball. Participation in Netball Basic Skills Clinics in Term 1 and the weekly training sessions throughout Term 2 produced some excellent netball throughout the season.
Congratulations to Serena Cummings, Year 6, who was selected into the 2021 IPSHA team.
In Term 2 a number of the Junior School girls played netball as their Saturday sport. During training, everyone worked hard to develop new skills and found their areas of strength. Netball was a popular Saturday sport and the coaches always gave amazing feedback to extend the playing skills of the team. No matter how hard the opposition was, the girls and coaches always tried their best to have fun and play at the top of their potential every match.
