From Mr Walsh: Head of Primary<br />
Dear parents and carers,<br />
House Football Tournament<br />
On Wednesday, <strong>September</strong> 6, Primary had the House Football Tournament.<br />
The sky was clear, with a bright sun beating down, making the field burning<br />
hot!<br />
The Primary students were separated into three groups; Year 1 and 2, Year 3<br />
and 4, and Year 5 and 6. The games were really fun and exciting, with many<br />
matches ending up in nerve-wracking penalty shootouts. Teams were screaming<br />
and cheering in dire need for their team to score and teachers were coaching<br />
to improve their team’s performance. Everyone was dripping head to toe in<br />
sweat.<br />
In the end, Eagles won the Year 1 and 2 group, Cobra won Year 3 and 4, and<br />
Gecko won Year 5 and 6. The overall winner was Cobra!<br />

This group is about<br />
students understanding<br />

faced by families<br />
in poverty.<br />
This group will use<br />
a variety of skills<br />
to help grow<br />
plants. Students<br />

the effort and processes<br />
that go<br />
into producing<br />
crops that are<br />
used for different<br />
purposes.<br />
Natural<br />
