Year 3/4 Netball Festival

A Celebration of Sport and Smiles:

Under beautiful spring sunshine, but with a crisp chill in the air, five schools came together for an exciting Year 3 and 4 Netball Festival. Hosted in a spirit of fun and learning, the event saw young players take to the court, many experiencing their first taste of competitive netball.

East Preston Junior School entered two teams, with a total of 15 enthusiastic children eager to showcase their developing skills. Guided by dedicated Year 8 sports leaders—many of whom once played for East Preston Junior themselves—the young players learned the rules of the game, practised teamwork, and grew in confidence with every pass and shot.

Smiles and encouragement filled the evening as the children gave their all, cheered on by their peers and leaders who were once in their shoes. The festival was more than just a series of matches; it was a celebration of progress, teamwork, and the continued passing of the netball baton from one generation to the next.
