PSSA Netball Gala Day On Friday 24th of March, the Griffith North Public School netball team competed in a gala day at Jubilee Oval. The day was run by Mrs Vearing, and the whole team had a great time. In our first match, we played against Beelbangera, and were defeated. The Beelbangera team went on to win the whole day and we were very pleased to have played such a good game against the champions. Our second match was against the Small Schools team, it was great fun to be able to play against girls from lots of different schools and this was a very close match! Finally, we played a short match against Griffith East for fun at the end of a very hot day. Overall, our team showed fantastic sportsmanship, we supported each other and all of the other teams and used our manners consistently throughout the day. The GNPS girls represented our school perfectly and Miss Horton is very proud.
