House Cup 

The House Cup in Primary continued last Friday, even though our Year 6 students were away on an excursion.

The Years 3 and 4 Girls competition in Basketball was again another tight round, with each of the Houses vying for those important points to progress to the finals in Week 9.

International Handball is one of the students' favourite games to play and our Years 3 and 4 Boys competition was another great battle. The teams play hard against one another, passing the ball around and scoring some wonderful goals. The leaderboard is looking close, with only one more week of round matches before the Finals.

With Year 6 away, our Year 5 Girls still played a fantastic competition in Basketball. They continued to demonstrate good skills and technique, scoring some impressive baskets throughout their matches.

The Year 5 Boys played some touch football matches and as a bonus, also played some games of soccer as well. They were very competitive in their games and produced some close finishes.

Well done to all of our teams for their performances. The competitions in each group are looking very close and it could all come down to this week’s final round matches to determine the leaderboard and those who will qualify for the Finals.

Sport Awards

As mentioned previously, our Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday 7 December will not just be a chance to present class awards, but also an opportunity to honour and recognise those students who are excelled in specific sports.

We will be presenting the biggest sport awards of the year, with the following announced:

• Sportswoman of the Year
• Sportsman of the Year
• Sportswomanship of the Year
• Sportsmanship of the Year
• House Trophy

Apart from these prestigious awards, we will also be presenting the Age Champions from our Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals (as we were unable to present these during Terms 3 and 4 due to restrictions).

Equestrian Competition

We would like to wish Codie W and Lotus G all the best when they represent Green Point Christian College at the Berry Equestrian Interschools Competition. This event is held between 18 - 20 December.

Both of these girls have been riding horses for many years and just love to compete. They have represented our school quite a few times in Equestrian and have performed exceptionally well.

We hope they have yet another great carnival and enjoy the experience of competition again.

CSSA Primary and Secondary Tennis
