HCSZS Primary Basketball Gala Day
Senior Boys Basketball
The Year 5/6 Boys Basketball team travelled to Broadmeadow Basketball Stadium to compete in the HCSZS Primary Basketball Gala Day. The boys started strong, winning their first two games and finishing second in their pool. This impressive effort saw them face Wyong in the semi-final, where they unfortunately fell just one game short of reaching the grand final. The team was well led by Michael, who controlled the pace of play with confidence, while Vaaris impressed with his exceptional dribbling and ability to weave through defenders. Every player gave their best effort, and we are proud of how they represented the school on and off the court. - Mr Sneyd
Senior Girls Basketball
The Senior Girls Basketball team competed at the HCSZS Primary Basketball Gala Day performing well in a tough Pool winning their first game and narrowly losing their next two. The girls finished 3rd in the Pool and played 3rd place Coast from the other Pool in a playoff winning convincingly. Congratulations to all the girls for your excellent display of sportswoman ship and skill throughout the day.
Thank you to Mr Turner and Mr Sneyd for coaching the teams and to the parents who supported on the day.
