Year 11 Penalty Shoot Out Competition
With each of the Heads of House playing as goal keepers against the Year 11s in an opposing House there was a fabulous atmosphere out on the astro at form time yesterday. It was highly competitive but also great fun at the same time and we have some wonderful video footage of the Heads of House desperately trying to keep a clean sheet against some feisty and determined Year 11s who were keen to let off steam! View the video clip HERE.
Eliza Constantine and Eloise Kingsbury for Austen showed no mercy scoring some sensational goals for Austen, and Austen and Parks came out as joint winners with Franklin and Chanel in equal 3rd, Hepburn in 5th and Nightingale finishing in 6th position.
