Term 1 Week 8 2025
Welcome to Welbourn
Dallas Singh and Ngahere Cribb.
Cricket Tournament
On Monday we played two games of T20 Cricket. At Vogeltown Park. We faced Stratford first off and lost in a close match 155 Stratford and 111 Welbourn. Brody had a great first innings and smashed amazing boundaries. Arlo, Isaac and Aarush also had excellent first innings.
Brody and Aarush had good bowling in the first match as well with Arlo’s good fielding. Asher did a wonderful job wicket-keeping letting no balls through.
In the second match against Mangorei, Aarush and Brody had an amazing time bowling, especially with Arlo’s catch and Asher two stumpings adding to our wickets. Isaac did good Wicket-keeping as well letting no balls through. We managed to keep Mangorei’s total to a miniature 58 and Asher and Aarush beat them, with Aarush getting 43 and Asher getting 18. The final score was 148 to 58. Overall we came third.

What a glorious day for our Swimming Sports at Highlands Intermediate last Friday. A big thank you to Highlands for allowing us access to this beautiful venue.
The children were amazing and it was wonderful to see everyone participating and competing. As always the teachers and parents helped make sure the events ran smoothly. An additional big shout out to Michael Shearer for his organisation. Congratulations to all the winners! I`m sure the spectators were well entertained and impressed with all the participants.
