On Tuesday 21 July the Year 9/10 girls competed in three games of basketball for the Mickleham Division. Macey, Frankie and Zara all showed their ability to get to the basket and finish strong. Gracie and Emilia impressed everyone with their 3’s. Molly and Ellie’s amazing work in the key was much needed.
Finally, Georgia’s defence was amazing and kept up all day. Even though our girls didn’t make it through to the second round, we are still extremely proud of their efforts and positive energy throughout the day.

Losing our first game by just one point was tough, but the way the boys responded was something special. They stayed positive, backed each other, and worked hard every game, going on to win every match after that.
I'm so proud of the effort, teamwork, and determination they showed throughout the tournament. They never gave up, always played for each other, and represented Sacred Heart. Highlights included:
Well done everyone!

After winning the first round of our pool back in May, our Intermediate Football Team competed again on Wednesday 22 July and had an awesome day! After winning our first two matches, we secured a spot in the grand final.
We were unfortunate however, to lose the grand final. We tried our best and cooperated with each other during the entire day. The grand final was something to be proud of, and it was a fantastic learning experience. Well done everyone!
