MACFARLANE DIAMONDS NETBALL

The MacFarlane Diamonds Netball program has been running at the school for a number of years now, started by classroom teachers as an attendance incentive, it has now grown into a successful staff run program encouraging students not only to improve their school attendance, but also practice positive behaviour and learn new skills for life. The program is open to all Middle and Upper Primary students, through fundraising there is no additional cost to families and training is run during school lunchtimes. Students who commit to training also get the opportunity to engage with cooking skills sessions, health lessons and sport skills development throughout the netball season. This year we have almost 30 students involved and have entered 2 teams into the Katherine Netball Association Competition: The Red Crystals and Blue Gems. It is great to see so many talented MacFarlane students shine on the netball courts!
