Netball - Ebony

We watched Ebony and her team in a bit of an arm wrestle today.  Her team was evenly matched with the opposition up to the last quarter when they pulled ahead.  These older girls are playing a faster and more skillful game so they are fun to watch.

 Ebony is playing Wing Defence - it is a tough gig!

Jack Fights Tree

Jack took on one of the larger trees in the playground yesterday and although it was a tough fight, Jack went down with a TKO.  Despite damage he has recovered well.  We have no reports on the tree as yet.

Pam and Noel Visit

Noel and Pam came down to visit over the weekend.  We had a great weekend with them including a family Pizza night on Saturday.  Today they visited Adam and Kate's place to see their pool and provide a little gardening advice.

Then we went to see Allen and Marg Canobie's new house.  It was a very useful visit as they had just completed the building process and had incorporated many of the features we would like to see in our new house.

Budgie Keeping Moves Up a Level

The new Budgie facility is being installed at Donvale.  The backdrop has been completed the supports welded into place and the ground works nearly completed.  The existing budgies have been moved into breeding cages in readiness for transfer to their new and palatial accommodation.  Patrick is in charge of the Breeding Register.

Basketball - James

James and his Celtics team are a great team to watch.  On Saturday they played a team they had previously beaten but had really come to change the outcome this time.  The result was an exciting game that concluded in a draw.

From this biased spectator's perspective, the ball seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time rolling around the Celtics goal ring and dropping off on the wrong side.  Next week will be different!

Jack Meets his Idol

It was a big Basketballing Saturday for Jack, After a good match this morning he went off to meet one of his favourite NBA players, Matthew Dellavedova.  Jack managed to meet him and get his signature.

Basketball - Jack

Jack had an early start to his Basketball Saturday.  He enjoys playing with this team and although they went down today, Jack had a good game.  He got a couple of great goals and scored from a foul.

Jack Elected to Council

Jack's class recently elected him to the Junior School Council. He was presented with his badge in Assembly today. Another leadership position to add to the CV!

Basketball - Patrick

Patrick and his team play basketball in the Friday night competition. It has been a while since we have seen him perform but we were able to see them tonight.  They took a bit of a hammering from a better team but there were periods when they were getting on top.  Hope springs eternal.

 Patrick showed his skills as an attacking player

and he also did well as a defender.  For the next couple of weeks the team is to be coached by Adam and James so we are expecting massive improvement!

Jets' Season Ends

James and the Jets had their final game for the season today. It would have been good to see the season out with a win but Boronia were too strong.

 James worked hard throughout the match.

Part of his game is to work as an "enabler" supporting other players and harassing the opposition to keep them from the ball.

Adam had his last day on the boundary too.  We hear his Sundays will now be fully devoted to the list of jobs that has been growing throughout the footy season.
