Toronto Netball Team

Last week some children from our new Netball team played in their very first Netball Festival.   They showcased their new skills beautifully whilst displaying excellent team work and sportsmanship by celebrating everyone’s success!  They were placed 4th overall – WELL DONE!  Keep going team Toronto – we’re so proud of you!

The children are loving netball so much that they are practising in our new hall twice a week at lunchtimes with the help and support of Ms Muir and Mr Graham who are very proud of their dedication!
