Junior School Sport Update
Junior School Sport
The Junior School Cricket programme conducted Monday lunchtime training sessions as they prepared to host Sherwood Primary on Monday 29 March.
The threat of rain held off as the match began, with Sherwood batting first. Both teams played the match in good spirits and with real effort. All students took their opportunity to bat, bowl and field, and after the dust settled… Cricket was the winner! Freddie Knights topscored with the bat scoring 17 runs and everybody bowled well. Special thanks to Mr Hutton and Mr Caithness for umpiring the match.
An interrupted Touch season allowed for a one-off mini tournament to be held on the Kristin Auditorium fields late in Term 1, organised by Mr Calvert. This provided the opportunity for our developing, enthusiastic players and teams to gain some match experience against our neighbouring school Albany Primary.
While Albany was the much more experienced school across all year levels, Kristin’s teams were up for the challenge and grew in their game understanding and ball control as the matches progressed. This action has provided these players with a great start to the formal season, which is held traditionally for our Junior School in Term 4. The Touch tournament was well supported by family supporters, with dedicated input from our dads who coach and umpire. Thank you!
In other areas, a new athletics club on Wednesday lunchtimes provided students with an opportunity to experience the basics of athletics movements in a fun environment.
Our Gymnastic Club on Fridays after school, is now able to offer an extension session for our more experienced gymnasts.
Mini ball and Flippa Ball got off to a strong start with many students opting to try out these fun sports. New playground turn bars are popular every playtime and lunchtime!
Our Swimming team had a fantastic result in the recent North Shore Primary Swimming Competition, coming 3rd place over all with 25 schools attending... congratulations!
