Welcome to week 5! Time is just flying by, and we have so many exciting events happening over the course of the next few weeks.

Market Day 17th November 1pm-1.30pm

This Friday, the 17th of November, our Student Representative Council (SRC) students are holding the 3rd annual Market Day. They have had 52 market submissions, making it the biggest Market Day yet. The market will be open to customers from 1pm-1.30pm. Parents and friends are most welcome to attend, but we do ask the students are left to run their own stalls. Any visitors to the market need to sign in at the front desk upon arrival.

The SRC students are looking forward to reporting back on the success of the Market Day in the next newsletter. 

Staff vs Student Soccer Match

This week the SRC students held a staff vs student Soccer match. It was a very competitive, high energy game, with the students giving the staff team tough opposition. It looked like the student team were going to hold their own, with 2 goals being scored against the staff early in the match. However, the staff team took on the challenge and found their groove, scoring 3 goals, building the tension as the staff started to lead the game. It was a fierce battle for the soccer ball, and by the end of the game, the staff and students both had 3 goals, resulting in a draw. There were strong calls for a re-match later this term from both the staff and the students. The SRC will give a week or two for the staff to recover before setting a re-match date!

SAPSASA Cricket State Carnival

Congratulations to Janak and Colby on the SAPSASA Cricket success. Here is their report.

Colby and I attended the SAPSASA cricket state carnival, Division 5 for Para Districts. We were unbeaten throughout the 3 days. We played 2 matches on Tuesday and Wednesday the 7th and 8th of November, and then had 1 match, which was the Grand Final, on Thursday the 9th of November. On the Grand Final day Para Districts scored 225 runs in the first innings making them the first team in SAPSASA cricket to score over 200 in 1 match in Division 5. Colby and I opened in the Grand Final match (went into bat first). In the second innings, Para Districts bowled Murray Mallee out, for 118 runs to win the Grand Final. The Grand Final win was the first ever win for Para Districts. This is the second and final year for Colby and I to play SAPSASA cricket. We opened the batting last year, as well as this year, and we played a very crucial role in bringing our team to victory. As openers we played very well and executed our opportunity of being an opener correctly. We loved our experience of representing our school and team and I hope any future generations that do this will think the same. Thank you for bringing cricket as a part of the curriculum.

The boys all played incredibly well all-day finishing 1st, 2nd, and 6th out of 20 teams. It was great being able to coach the team this year and we should all be proud of what they all achieved.

Mr Huntley

Wow! What an outstanding day for the girls table tennis teams today. They represented Bethany to the highest quality, demonstrating amazing effort, teamwork, and resilience all day long. The girls bronze team finished in 5th place with the gold and silver teams playing off in the grand final. Gold finishing in first place and Silver in second. Amazing effort by all the girls today, you should be super proud.
