This year, Riverside entered 8 teams into the High School Netball Championships. Students competed in back-to-back games against fellow Government, Catholic, Independent and Specialist schools from around the state in a round robin, day long, carnival.

The first day showcased some of Riversides fantastic emerging talent and saw our Grade 7/8 girls develop their skills and teamwork throughout the day. Riverside Gold finished near the top of their pool and Navy and Maroon finishing somewhere in the middle of their pool. The girls enjoyed the experience and are keen for more netball in years to come.

Day two saw our junior boys enjoy their fast paced, highly skilled netball style. These boys left the other schools stunned with some perfect passages of play in attack and accuracy of shots. So much so, they finished 2^nd overall and are off to compete again at the state finals in November!

Day three saw three Grade 9/10 girls teams give their all in some tight clashes against the other schools. All teams kept spirits high against some tough clashes. The Grade 9/10 girls are to be commended on their team spirit and positivity throughout the day.

Day four showcased the athleticism and sportsmanship of our Grade 9/10 boys who gave 100% all day. These boys are to be commended on their eagerness to learn the rules and implement team strategy passed on by the guidance of some fantastic student coaches. 

Well done to all who were involved in this competition, you represented the school with pride and good luck to our junior boys who are off to Hobart in November for the state finals.
