On Monday 21st of October, students from Years 7-9 participated in the Diocesan Gala Day against other schools located in the Wollongong Diocese.

With an early start to the day, students were eager to participate and head down to "The Snakepit" to compete against other schools in the Wollongong Diocese.

Being in the largest pool at the Gala presented some challenges for students to succeed and aim for playoff places. In our first game students were able to work hard to collect the win. The remaining games resulted in very close games with minimal point differences demonstrating our continued growth in our Basketball team.

All students involved in the day had great enthusiasm and presented their overwhelming passion in the game by being the best version of themselves on the court. It is clear that their camaraderie and encouragement contributed significantly to their successes on the day showing that the games were about supporting each other and continuing to build each other up.
