The hockey field day for 2021 took place on a glorious sunny morning. The tournament was split into two categories. The Year 5 learners attended the morning session and the Year 6 learners the afternoon session. We entered two teams in each year group. Each team consisted of 7 players and played on a quarter of the astro turf at Lloyd Elsmore.
The Hockey Field Day is designed to introduce learners to the game of field hockey. The day was a success, with many of our learners having loads of fun while playing this amazing game. Our learners were a little tentative at first, but after a team talk or two, and finally understanding that in sport it is okay to have a little controlled aggression or to turn “beast mode” on, we started to play some impressive hockey and scored some fabulous goals!
Special thanks to Mr Basson for his great leadership of our Hockey Teams. Thanks must go out to all the parents who helped with transport. Without their help, we would not have been able to enter 2 teams. Mellons Bay Primary must also be thanked for running a fantastic day.
