Cricket
On Wednesday 10th April our Sapsasa boys side hosted their second-round match against St Francis de Sales College from Mount Barker. Batting first, the boys scored an impressive total of 3/135 with contributions from all batters. The boys then carried this form into their fielding, bowling St Francis de Sales out for a score of 10/65. Congratulations boys who now have a rest and will play their third-round game in early Term 4.
District Athletics Championships
We had 24 students compete at our District Athletics Championship on Thursday 28th March. Our students represented Mitcham proudly with many placing high in their events. We are still waiting on the results of which students succeeded in advancing to represent our City South District at State Day in late Term 3.
Netball
This year we not only took our Sapsasa Statewide Girls side to our district wide netball carnival day but were able to enter two other participation sides to compete in a separate tournament at Netball SA Stadium on Tuesday 7th May. The girls did an amazing job throughout the day playing up to six matches without many breaks in-between which were spent cheering on their fellow Mitcham teams.
District Cross Country Championships
Twenty-five students travelled to Belair National Park to compete at our District Cross Country Championships on Tuesday 14th May. For the first time in a long time, at this event, the weather was kind to us with not a single drop of rain and sunshine. Congratulations to all runners who have been working hard at trainings to improve their stamina with all runners placing the upper half of their races. Congratulations to Nate G (1st), Lucas A (1st), Leo P (2nd), Lilian D (3rd), Ashleigh W (4th) and Sonja W (5th) who have made it into our City South District Team to compete at the State Cross Country Championships in Week 6.
