Last week, our school was buzzing with excitement as we welcomed the Tasmanian JackJumpers Basketball Team for a very special visit! The players brought their incredible energy, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship to share with our students in a morning full of fun and unforgettable memories.

The JackJumpers played four thrilling quarters against a selected group of talented Year 5–6 students, showcasing teamwork and skill while encouraging our students to give it their all. The fun didn’t stop there. Every year level had a chance to join in the action! Our Prep to Year 2 students jumped into a lively star jump competition, while the Year 3–4 students showed their strength in a push-up contest. To top it all off, the entire school joined in a dance-off that had everyone moving and grooving!

Every student was gifted a signed JackJumpers basketball singlet, a generous gesture that left smiles all around. Some lucky students also received spot prizes throughout the morning, adding to the joy of the day.

We are incredibly grateful to the JackJumpers for taking the time to visit and interact with our students and staff. A huge thank you goes to Community Coordinators Riley and Frances, whose efforts helped make this amazing opportunity possible.

Our students represented our school with pride, their behaviour was impeccable, and the players even commented on how polite and friendly they were. It was a day filled with laughter, teamwork, and inspiration, and one we’ll remember for a long time.
