MAD MARCH SPORT REPORT

Mad March is in full swing and the craziness of this month has seen the children from St Michael’s challenge themselves and compete across a range of activities and events.

P.E Lessons / Sports Day

In P.E lessons the students have continued to practice for the events they will be participating in at Sports Day. I have been impressed by their positive attitudes to developing new skills so that they can perform their best on Friday.

Just a reminder that the 600m run will be happening this Thursday at 9:30am on the school oval for all students in Years 2-6. Could all students involved please wear their P.E uniform.

Courier Cup

On Thursday 2^nd of March the St Michael’s SAPSASA Swimming Team competed at the Courier Cup swimming carnival at Mountain Pool, Mt Barker. Our team consisting of 21 students did a fantastic job with a number of students gaining 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place results. Overall we came 4^th in the Barker SAPSASA district, which is the best result we have had as a school in the past five years. Congratulations to all who participated.

Knockout Cricket

On Friday 10^th of March the St Michael’s Knockout Cricket team played Aldgate primary in its first round match. Aldgate won the toss and elected to bat but were only able to score 83 after the St Michael’s boys put on a fielding clinic taking numerous catches and bowling a consistent line and length. After a slow start to our innings St Michael’s managed to find their form with the bat and comfortably chased down Aldgate’s total, scoring 108 at the end of  25 overs. It was a fantastic team win and performance with a special mention must go to Hayden Knappstein who’s 33 not out guided the team to a solid win . Our next game is against St Josephs next Thursday at St Michael’s

Isabel Harriet Phillips

To add to the excitement of this month Yasi and I had our second child on the 7^th of March. Izzy and Yasi are both doing well and she is adored by her big Sister Matilda.
