HOOP TIME

With very successful Hoop Time Basketball Competitions in Term 3, we have 3 teams progressing to the District Finals during Term 4. Congratulations to the Junior Boys All Star Team and the Senior and Junior Future Stars Mixed Teams. Success at the District Finals will see teams compete for the State Championship at the Dandenong Basketball Centre in late November.

Good luck to all children involved, and coaches Melissa Dixon, Kate Bettiol and Nick Sher.

ATHLETICS

Well done to the Willy North Athletics team, who won the WADSSA District Athletics Carnival for the fourth straight year. At Willy North we pride ourselves on our success in this carnival. We also pride ourselves on the training that is given to the children by staff and parents, and the sportsmanship displayed during and after competition. Thank you to our coaches Malinda Vaughan, Stephen Cross, Lauren Hall and Nick Sher. The Zone Athletics carnival is to be held at Moonee Valley Athletics Track on October 14.
