Last Friday our Grade 5/6 students participated in the Heyfield and District Winter Sports Competition.  Students were given the opportunity to choose from 4 sports (AFL, soccer, netball or t-ball) to compete for the day.  Well done to all our teams who participated.  It was great to see all students enjoy being active and having fun.

St Mary’s Soccer Team

On Friday the 31st of May the 5/6 students went to Heyfield Sporting Complex and divided into their set teams to score victory in the hope of moving onto the Wellington Division. Our soccer team and netball team were successful in progressing to the next round. 

The soccer team played against six other schools and won five of their games and came a draw in one. The soccer team should be very proud of their efforts, as every student played extremely well and supported each other throughout the day. A big thank you to the teachers and parents for supporting students throughout the day.

St Mary’s Netball Teams

On Friday the 31st of May the 5/6 students from St Mary's Maffra, competed at Winter Sports in Heyfield against other children in the Heyfield District. There were students competing in all different sports, from our school such as Netball, Soccer, Football and T-Ball. 

There were two netball teams, both teams played in the A league this year, as our school is very active and strong. All together both teams played 8 games in total. The Light Blue A team is moving on to the next round to compete against lots of schools in the Sale and District. All students did a great job and tried their best. A huge thank you to our awesome coaches Lyndall and Mrs Orchard.

Tee Ball 

On Friday the 31st of May the 5/6’s attended Winter Sports in Heyfield. I competed in Tee Ball with Briagolong Primary School and Heyfield Primary School. We played two games which had four innings. In the first game we lost 16 to 11 and I got 4 runs. In the second game we came back and one of our players scored a home run and I got one run as well. It was a fun day for all students to be involved in.
