    James Bateman had a fantastic afternoon of netball with our Year 3 first school children. 40 Year 7&8 sports leaders and 180 Year 3 students participated in 10 stations helping them to develop their ball skills and team play. Everyone had a great time and met some new friends. A huge well done to our leaders and all the children who took part. Thank you to all the teachers who brought the children.
