Touch Football

Last weekend a Primary boys and girls team attended the QLD All Schools Touch Football Carnival at Cleveland. Thanks to all the parents and families who came to support the team and to our amazing Senior students Claudia Child, Shawnee King, Sarah McQuaid, Lachlan Wilkins and Maggie Laffy (Referee) for assisting with the coaching of our teams along with Mrs Wilkins and Mrs Lincoln. Both teams played fantastic Touch Football on Saturday to comfortably win their pools and qualify for the Championship Final 16 on Sunday. The boys unfortunately went down to Algester State School 3 - 9. (the boys did well to fight back after being down 5-0 at halftime) Algester went on to win the championship division.  The firls team went down to St Matthew’s Primary School 0 - 1 in tight game which was locked at 0-0 at halftime.
