Punchbowl Primary School has a strong tradition of entering teams into the Primary Schools basketball tournament, this is held annually over two weekends. Once again, Punchbowl had great representation in both the Grade 3-4 and Grade 5-6 tournaments with eight teams entered across the divisions. Our students represented Punchbowl with pride showing resilience, perseverance and wonderful sportsmanship. All teams performed exceptionally well showing great improvement across the tournament, especially those players who were having their first taste of basketball. Special accolades to our Grade 3-4 Boys Division 1 team who came runners up in the championship and to our Grade 3-4 Girls Division 1 team who won their grand final after an unbeaten run. These teams will represent Punchbowl at the State Championships against the top school teams from across the state. This is a wonderful achievement for a small school! A huge thank you to Stuart Gray, Adrian Dean, Sarah Dunn, Tua Agaiava, Jeremy Hollister, Matthew McGee & Lauren Taylor for volunteering their time to train and coach teams. A big thank you to our team managers who assisted coaches and players, Leah Chandler, Fiona Bye, Louise Padgett, Nardia Gray and Karen Bellchambers, we certainly appreciate your time.
