Rugby Fun Day

Year 4, 5 and 6 YMS Rugby Team

Rugby Fun Day really lived up to its name. It wasn't really the fact that we won our three games; it was just so great to see all of the team giving their best. Everyone played hard but fair and the boys all played as a team.

The tricky part of rugby is having the courage to make tackles. Tackling is very important but also a little scary if someone is running towards you very fast. Our tackling efforts were superb.

Our passing was slick and our running was explosive. The fact that everyone in the team knew that they could count on each other meant that progress was made up the field towards the try line very quickly.

Another important aspect to the games was that we did not play the 'blame game'. When someone on our team made a mistake we fixed it up and carried on.


Thank you to the parents for their support on the day. It was very enjoyable to be part of such a well organised event.

Superb Triathletes

What a great day we had on Thursday. More bikes than I have ever seen before at Yaldhurst Model School  were lined up for the junior and senior triathlons. Come race time and we had a wonderfully support audience of parents and caregivers.

The Senior Triathlon was divided into non-competitive and competitive events with children able to participate in teams or as individuals. All children entered into the spirit of the event and as a result there were some wonderfully athletic performances.

The Junior Triathlon gave all children the chance to experience race conditions while our emphasis was on participation. The beaming smiles of the children at the end of the race when they were all awarded a Participation Certificate was priceless.

Swimming, biking and running the children gave their all and with the support of parents and caregivers we had a great day. Roll on swimming sports next year.
