Running Club

With the cold, wet, and rainy days, we’ve had a slower start to Running Club this term. Now that we’ve entered the Noongar season of Djilba, we look forward to the pleasant, warmer days ahead -the perfect time to get moving and enjoy the beautiful wildflowers blooming around the school grounds.

Come and join us on Tuesday mornings from 8:00–8:25am on the big oval near the sports shed. All welcome!

ENTRIES ARE OPEN!

Interschool Sports

Junior Interschool Basketball – Boys & Girls Teams

This year marked our first time participating in the Junior Interschool Basketball competition and what a memorable debut it was!

Illness unfortunately struck in the lead-up, leaving both our boys’ and girls’ teams with limited - and in some cases no - substitutes. Despite this, the determination, team spirit, and positivity of our players were evident throughout the day - even during some tough matchups. The way they supported each other and maintained high energy and enthusiasm was truly commendable.

Boys Team
The boys played six games across the day, starting with two close matches, going down by just 3 and 5 points. Their persistence paid off in Game 4, where they stormed to their first win of the day with an impressive 54-point victory. This was followed by another nail-biting match against Thornlie, where the boys secured a well-earned 3-point win. A big thank you to Mikki Mulqueen for coaching and guiding the team so well.

Girls Team
With illness reducing their numbers to just five players, the girls faced a huge challenge - but they tackled it head-on. Playing all six games without a single sub, they met strong opposition with unwavering energy, positivity, and team spirit. Their highlight was the match against Yule Brook, where everything came together beautifully. In a heart-stopping finish, they went down by just 2 points after an incredible all-round performance.

Their consistent effort and outstanding sportsmanship made them a credit to our school. Both teams showed resilience, pride, and a commitment to each other that made us proud to have them representing Perth Waldorf School. Congratulations to all players for an outstanding effort!
