hat a great year we had in our fourth GPS Basketball competition. Five teams contested the home and away games against the Greater Public Schools. The results across the season were outstanding, with only a few losses and our Year 6 team once again claiming the most outstanding GPS team at TSS. All team members made a significant contribution throughout the season. In order to further our skills in basketball, and in preparing the boys for GPS competition we held a two on two competition, organised by Mr Robinson. This was well attended and sure to be on the calendar for next year. We definitely appreciated Mr Robinson’s assistance and we look forward to 2019. We have continued with our Years 1-3 skills program in Term Four. This has had a great turnout and the Preppies are improving their skills. We end the year off with the Basketball Internal Competition and once again it was well supported by boys in Years 4-6.
Thanks to Mr LeGassick (Director of Basketball) for his continued support throughout the season, Mr Gleeson (Head Coach) for his contribution towards the Internal Basketball Program and Mr Paisley who organised the referees for game day and the competition.

Thanks to the coaches for their timeless efforts in teaching the boys the skills, they required for the GPS competition.
Finally, I would like to thank our GPS Basketball Captain, Cayden Brown, who supported the boys on game day and was always eager to help with training sessions. Thanks to all parents who have supported their sons this season. It was great to see so many parents driving up to Brisbane to watch the games and cheer on each of the teams. Good luck to all the Year 6 basketball players; we wish you every success in the Senior School.
