ered the answers to questions like-

How many plastic bags do Australians use every

day? 10,000,000

How many years does it take for a plastic bag

to start to bio-degrade? 1,000 years

What is the average ‘use time’ of a plastic Bag?

12 minutes

League 7’s Gala Day Last Tuesday 50 students travelled to EJ Biffin fields to play in the 7’s tournament. Enthusiasm was

evident as students arrived at the field ready to play.

All teams showed excellent sportsmanship and combined well to ensure all students were given an

opportunity to tackle, tag or go for that bursting run onto the ball towards the try line.

Great fun was had by all. We would like to thank our marvellous school community for teaming up and organising transport to enable students to get there and for their valued cheering and sup-

port.

Top job from our terrific teams!!!

Basketball

Last Friday 5 keen basketballers took on the best of the Mid North Coast in basketball trials. Each student showed great skills and stamina and worked hard to impress the se-

lectors.

A marvellous effort from Annaliese H, Halo C, Miller B, Tully P and Archie N.

Well done!
