On the 23rd of August, 11 girls from Year 5 and 6, competed in SAPSASA girls’ football at the Berri Oval. Throughout the day, the girls played 6 games and managed to win 1. As the day went on, the girls grew in confidence and worked well as a team. Xanadu was fortunate to be awarded the Team Spirit Award on the day.

Hot Shots Tennis

On Thursday the 29th of August, the Year 3 and 4 students competed at Hot Shots tennis in Barmera. This was a great experience for the students as they got to engage in a coaching clinic followed by some game play. Each team played four games and showed a great level of skill and sportsmanship. At the end of the event each school was awarded two sportsmanship awards. These were won by Laura Geyer and Sriyan Gudipati. A big thank you to Mr Dunn, Kirrilly and Mel P for supporting ths students on the day and giving them this opportunity.
