The boys started the game strong, going straight onto the attack. Within the first 10 minutes of the match Canowindra were awarded a spot penalty due to an Orange hand ball in the box. The Orange keep-er made a great save to stop the penalty, however Cayless was able to convert, making the score 1-0. Canowindra stayed strong and continued on the at-tack. Eli was next to score for Canowindra coming from a beautiful ball from a corner. Canowindra played defensive for a while and Orange were keen to get the ball. They left Connor Munroe standing alone on the half way line. Ethan saw the opportunity and played a high kick over the Orange team for Connor to run on to and calmly run half the length of the field and slot

the ball away nicely, making the half time score 3-0. During the second half the boys continued to go on the attack and pressure Orange’s defence. Orange had a goal kick, which Dusty pounced on quickly and scored in the bottom corner, taking Canowindra to a 4-0 lead. At this stage we thought it was safe to change keepers, giving Luke a run on the field and Jordey Smith taking on the goalie role. Luke was then able to score

NSW Premiers Sporting ChallengeOur school has registered to participate in the 2016 NSW Premier’s Primary School Sport Challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to encourage students to participate in sport, games and physical activity ¬and to have more students, more active, more often! Over a ten week period from Monday 23rd May-Friday 12th August, all classes K-6 will be monitoring physical activity we do during class time, at recess and lunch as well as during sport. What we do outside school hours will also count towards the Challenge award. We would especially like to invite all our families to support us in encouraging students’ healthy use of leisure time and to experience the joy of being active together. Each student should have received a challenge log book to record their physical activity. Physical activity is valued for its physical, social and emotional benefits. It also helps young people to develop communication skills, confidence and resilience while having fun with family and friends.
