We have many talented students at Calliope State School who continue to achieve big goals outside of school in their chosen sports. Our Year 6 student Seth is a very humble achiever and we have only just learnt that he was chosen in a small selection of Go-Kart racers to represent Australia and compete overseas in Las Vegas. We look forward to hearing how he goes and hopefully getting some photos to post.

Some of our talented dancers, Madeleine, Poppy, Paige and Emily, have recently participated in the Dance Kix concert and shared some of their photos of their big day. You look great girls! And it sounds like you had a lot of fun!

Last week we started a basketball competition for the keen basketballers in Year 5 and 6. These are students who shoot hoops most lunch breaks and were keen to get some games in. This has proven to be a very exciting competition with the students loving getting the whole hall basketball court to compete against each other. Students had to make their own teams of five and name their teams. It was very cool to see one team even produce their own label. We are fortunate to have two very confident basketball referees to help us run the games. Thanks Parks and Sienna! It’s been fierce competition and a lot of fun! The competition will continue to run over the next few weeks.
