Balambalam Primary School

🦋💜 Year 5 and 6 Winter Gala ~
On Wednesday 10th June our Year 5 and 6 students attended a winter gala sports day. We had teams in Netball, Soccer and Badminton.
The students showed great teamwork representing BPS and each student demonstrated our core values throughout the day (Tenacity, Relationships, Unity and Excellence!).
Each team did so well and should be so proud of their efforts. Most of all they had fun.
Well done teams 🏆
