Hermitage Primary Netball

Hermitage Primary are very proud of the school netball team for winning the Lomond School Netball Tournament. The group phase saw some excellent play in all sectors of the court and the team progressed into the final undefeated. Hermitage faced Cardross in a nail biting final in which both teams played superb netball and were equally matched. However a tense 4 minutes of extra time allowed Hermitage to score a further 2 goals and finally win the trophy. Well done to the whole team!

RAG BAG
On the 5th March we emptied the Rag bin and have managed to raise £99. This is our highest total yet. We set our team of organisers the challenge of making the bags weigh as close to 5Kg as possible. As you can see from the photos we weighed the bags to make sure that they were round about the same size.

In the new term we are going to buy new playground toys with the money raised. Continue reading News from Kilninver Primary
