This year has caused many disruptions to our usual school calendar, so it was wonderful for all our Year 3 students to have the opportunity to participate in the HotShots Tennis Carnival. Students played more than 10 short matches against Year 3 and 4 students from St Margaret Mary’s and Nazareth, showing great sportsmanship and teamwork. They scored their own games, worked cooperatively in doubles teams and persevered greatly through a tiring day. We were even lucky enough to escape the rain…until the final walk to the bus! So close.
It was so pleasing to see everyone participating fully in the day. It didn’t matter if the kids were experienced tennis players or not; I think it’s safe to say they all had a great time. The day could be typified by one girl, who was heard saying, “It didn’t matter what the score was. I never realised how much fun tennis could be!” The group’s collective attitude left a couple of Year 3 teachers very proud indeed.
Thank you to all the parent helpers for their court supervision and congratulations to all students on a job well done!
