Congratulations everyone for working so hard with the coaches each Saturday. You should all be very proud, including SVC 3, as should Coach Gabby and Coach Chloe, who were both tremendous coaches.

TERM 2 - THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN-HOUSE NETBALL COMP & SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM for YEAR 7
THE YEAR 7 PROGRAM was very successful and will be run again next year in Term 2. It is a 7 week skill development and 'better game understanding' program.
Over the years it has been realised that an in-house skills development program for our Year 7 netballers is more value than the St Caths netball competition. Ms McGrath has therefore created a program that promises to improve netball skills, game fitness and game craft. The program will assist in being 'competition ready' for Term 3 IGSSA netball with a round robin competition held each week.
The sessions will be 1.5 hours each week on a THURSDAY AFTER SCHOOL. 3:15pm till approx 5:00pm. Commencing Thursday, 2 May.
