BASKETBALL:

Sacred Heart Dunks (Year 3 & 4):

What a game! Our team faced a strong opponent, which got a bit physical in the second half, but SH Dunks showed incredible determination to come away with a 37–29 win. With no subs, every player dug deep and gave 100% right to the final whistle.

Player of the day went to Alex (Room 5), who dominated in the paint – blocking shots like King Kong swatting flies! Her defence was outstanding, as well as her rebounding and shooting.

A special mention to Dougal (Room 5), who stepped up massively – playing tough, staying persistent, and refusing to back down under pressure.

Great performance and teamwork by everyone, we are so proud of you all!

Sacred Heart Lay Ups (Year 5 & 6):

Congratulations, team! A fantastic display of teamwork and determination led SH Lay Ups to a well-earned victory over St Brigid’s, finishing with an impressive score of 45–29. The player of the day was Sienna (Room 6).

Sacred Heart Ferns (Year 5 & 6):

Congratulations to our SHCS Ferns on their fantastic 8-1 victory over Lyall Bay Kauri! This win was made even more impressive by the fact that the team was short a player, meaning they had to work with just one Centre instead of their usual two.

The Ferns showed incredible teamwork and adaptability, working twice as hard to cover the court and support each other throughout the game. Their determination and positive attitude made all the difference!

Thank you to the entire Ferns team for their outstanding effort and dedication.

The player of the day was Isabelle (Room 6), good work in support play. Special mentions to Violet (Room 7) for her hard work in the centre and Hannah (Room 7) for her great work in mid court and in goal.

Well done, Ferns!

Sacred Heart Marvels (Years 5 & 6): 

Last Saturday, our SHCS Marvels faced a tough opponent Berhampore Tui. While the final score of 11-6 didn't go our way, it certainly didn't reflect the intensity and determination shown by our team throughout the match. The Marvels fought hard from start to finish, with every player giving their absolute best on court.

Despite the challenging result, our team showed tremendous character and sportsmanship. We know that great teams are defined not just by their wins, but by how they respond to setbacks. The Marvels are already focused on bouncing back stronger for this week's game.

Player of the day: Sophia (Room 7), who provided exceptional mid-court support and consistent play throughout the match.

Special mention: Mirabel (Room 6), whose powerful drives and accurate shooting in the goal circle were highlights of our performance.

Well done, Marvels – onwards and upwards!

Sacred Heart Aces (Year 7 & 8):
