WINTER SPORT WRAP UP After an incredibly successful ISA season, Mrs Hailey Tantalos, our Sport Academy Coordinator, recaps the 2019 winter sport season at St Paul’s. JUNIOR SCHOOL Winter brought out the fun for our Junior School with the Infants’ Football, Nepean Football and Netball programmes getting our students active. The Infants’ Football programme continued to grow in popularity with fifty students enrolled. Students participated in training sessions on Friday afternoons and played friendly games on Saturday mornings. Not only did we see a big improvement in skill but also new friendships as we shared in the fun of morning teas, charity sport weekend and ‘Superhero Saturday’. A big thank you to our Infants’ Coordinator, Miss Casha, and our Secondary School coaches. I look forward to seeing even more students involved in the fun of Infants’ Football next year. This year we had three teams involved in the local Nepean Football competition. The U8, U9 and U10 teams had a great season that saw a development in their skill and teamwork. Congratulations to Harrison Dunn, Ethan Mills and Ryan Henson who were awarded the most valuable player award and Rose Jacob, Zach Bates and Liam O’Brien who received “the Coach’s Award”. It is great to see our teams continuing on to play in summer competitions and training for the 2020 season. 28 FUTURUM SUMMER 2020
The St Paul’s Netball programme took a new step this year, creating a unique development programme under the supervision of a highly experienced coach. This ten-week programme was aimed at beginning levels of Netball to develop basic skills and game knowledge. Students who enrolled received a St Paul’s kit bag, netball and netball shirt. In 2020 we are looking to expand our Netball programme to include competitive teams. Keep an eye out for registration information and details on how to join the St Paul’s Netball Parent Committee.
