Last week our Stage 3 students participated in the Paul Kelly cup. For the majority of our team, this was an introduction to AFL and our students demonstrated great skill in adapting to the new sport. There were lots of goals, marks and tackles which led to both our teams making it to the grand finals. Our girls ended up runners up with our boys running out winners on the day. Good luck to our boys in the regional finals later into the term. #AFL #AFLkids #SantaSophiaSport
