Sports Tours

Every other year, any girls in Years 7 and 8 are eligible to join the Netball Tour to Barbados. The school has organised five very successful tours to date, with the most recent in the Christmas holiday of 2008 and our next one scheduled for January 2011. Although Barbados prides itself on the strength of their netball teams, our girls team have always had tremendous success with their fixtures.
