HIGH SCHOOL
2019 has started extremely busy for School
Sport at Norwood Morialta High School.
Already the summer season of sport has
come and gone, with students competing
against schools across Adelaide in a variety of
Saturday mornings sports. Some highlights of
the season include our inexperienced Middle
Girls Basketball team winning their first game
in the final round of the season, and our Middle
Boys Cricket team going through the season
undefeated.
Despite many successes in school sport during
term 1, the marquee event is without a doubt
our Sports Day which was held in week 7.
Blessed with blue skies and ideal temperatures,
students were taken to the SA Athletics
Stadium for a day of high level athletics. The
event was a huge success and extremely
enjoyable, with students earning points for
their house with the goal of winning the
overall House Championship Shield. In a day
with countless highlights and several records
broken, the Blue house was the eventual
winner on the day, with Gold taking out the
Spirit Shield. All students and staff should be
commended for their efforts in what was an
outstanding day.

SSSSA Athletics Championships
We have had some more great news in School
Sport, with our students competing against schools
from across the state in the SSSSA Athletics
Championships. The group selected were again
excellent
“
ambassadors of our school, competing
at a high level and upholding the school values.
In the end, we won the boys shield, and finished
second overall, meaning that for the second year
in a row, we move up a division. Next year we will
be competing in the B1 Division after competing in
B2 in 2019 and C1 last year. This is a great reward
for all the hard work the group has put in over the
past few weeks.
In other sporting news, I’d like to acknowledge the
outstanding efforts of our Senior Girls Basketball
team who won their Premiership. The game was
an absolute nail biter, with the girls winning by 3
points in the end..
