PE Week

Our PE week has been up and running with our Staff taking part in an Office Olympics on Monday afternoon and a week-long step challenge. So far, our students have enjoyed extra Jump Jam sessions with Mr Fabello at lunchtime, along with a range of awesome activities run by our Sport House Captains at lunchtimes. Our Foundation - Year 2s had a great day on Tuesday, participating in a "Mini Olympics" and our Year 3-7s will follow on on Wednesday. We look forward to an awesome end to what has already been a fantastic "Jump To It" PE week.

Hornets Sting Pandas

Last week after a tied first half Prescott's Red Pandas lost to the Highbury Hornets.

Suffering from the early-game absentees and with Farid still on the mend from injury, the Red Pandas started the game with an empty bench, before Tanner arrived taking the court had an instant impact at both ends.

Despite enjoying the height advantage, the Red Pandas found themselves being swarmed by the Hornets' full-court scrambling press, and initially found it hard to advance the ball. But some great long passes opened up the game and forced the Hornets into a hasty retreat.

Scout, serving up some Red Panda pressure, found himself in foul trouble early, but with the discipline, maturity and wit of a seasoned veteran, adjusted his game, dropped off the ball and extending his defensive coverage helped close down the Hornets' passing lanes, as well as working his way into superb offensive positions.

Alana scored early and capitalised on her ability to read and win offensive rebounds, while Seth displayed his signature "stutter-step" move confounding the Hornets on one or two of his coast-to-coast trips, added some Panda points and used his voice, offering support to team-mates in distress.

Savannah, possibly the politest, most well mannered and gracious player to have ever donned the Red Panda uniform, got pinged in the paint before a quick Q & A remedied her understanding of the 3-second rule, also made good from the foul line and sent some Pandas packing, lobbing some well placed fast break passes.

While Jonah plays a solid game practically every week and shows great leadership on and off the court.

Thanks, Mrs Hatchard for scoring and collecting the game monies.

We have the early game again this week, so bring your kit to school and make haste to the stadium.
