Many of our children in Years 3 & 4 recently took part in a series of competitive, yet friendly, football matches against our close friends Essendene Lodge School.
It was a fantastic opportunity for all of our boys and some of our girls to gain valuable match experience and develop their skills in a challenging but enjoyable environment.
With separate boys & girls’ competitions, Oakhyrst Grange had 2 x Boys teams and 2 x Girls teams who competed not just against Essendene Lodge, but against each other. They all showed great determination and teamwork, improving their play as each of their 4 games progressed. Nothing could separate our teams from each other, and despite a strong effort, Essendene emerged victorious for both the boys and the girls competition.
Althought the results didn’t go all our way, the matches provided an excellent learning experience, and the teams demonstrated many aspects of our Oakhyrst Grange ‘High-5’ values such as resilience and determination.
Well done to all the children involved and thank you to the parents for their ongoing support.
