🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️☀️ What a fantastic day at our annual Athletics Carnival! ☀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Thankfully Monday’s rain disappeared, leaving us with a beautiful dry day for our students to compete, participate and have fun! 🎉

From running, jumping and throwing to cheering on their classmates, all of our students from Kindergarten to Year 6 gave it their all and represented their houses with great spirit. 💙❤️💛💚

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part – your effort, sportsmanship and enthusiasm made the day such a success! 👏👏

Please stand by over the coming weeks as we finalise results and distribute ribbons and awards. 🏅

A very special thank you to the wonderful Year 9 girls from Katoomba High School who spent the entire day helping run our field events. Your support was greatly appreciated! 🙌

We’d also like to thank our amazing parent volunteers who helped with timing events and those who came along to support our students throughout the day. 👏

Finally, a massive thank you to our staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and throughout the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. ❤️

What a great day of participation, teamwork and school spirit!

🏏🏉 What an amazing day at Wentworth Falls Public School today! 🎉

This morning, our Stage 2 students enjoyed their Cricket Blast Day, with representatives from Sydney Thunder running a range of fun and engaging games. The day was a fantastic culmination of the cricket skills sessions students have been participating in throughout the term. 🏏👏

Then after lunch, the excitement continued as three Penrith Panthers players visited our entire school! 🤩 Many of our students who play for the Mountain Devils Rugby League Club, along with others involved in rugby league across the Mountains, loved the opportunity to meet and hear from professional players. 🐾🏉

A huge thank you to Cricket NSW, Sydney Thunder, the NRL and the Penrith Panthers for providing these incredible real-world opportunities for our students. Experiences like these help our students connect with each other, build healthy lifestyles and discover the joy of being physically active. 💙💛💚

The boys played first and gave it their all against an experienced opposition, showing great determination and never giving up despite the result.

Our girls then took to the field and played like a team that had been together for years! 🤩 They scored some brilliant tries and produced an impenetrable defensive line to come away with an outstanding 10–0 victory! 💪🏃‍♀️🏉

A huge thank you to our referees for giving up their time, and to our wonderful parents for transporting and supporting our players throughout the day. 👏🚗

We are incredibly proud of the sportsmanship, teamwork and effort shown by all of our students.

💙💛 Go Wenty!

Boys PSSA Soccer

Today our Boys PSSA Soccer team finally played their first game soccer game against Ellison Public School. And what a game it was! Our boys lead 2-0 after half time. In the second half Ellison pushed back and levelled the score. We played 10 minutes of extra time and scores were still level.

We finally went to a penalty shoot out to decide the winner. After some tense moments Wentworth Falls Public School were victorious, winning the shoot out 3-2.

Well done to all the players and our stand in team manager who did a great job through out the match.

We will now now move onto the next round.

🏀 Today our boys and girls PSSA Knockout Basketball teams travelled to Samuel Terry PS for their knockout games!

Both teams played with great spirit, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the day 👏

The boys picked up the win and move on to the next round 🎉🏀 while the girls went down in a narrow loss after an incredible effort. Amazingly, only one of the girls regularly plays basketball, making their performance even more impressive! 💪

A huge thank you to all the parents who transported players and supported the teams throughout the day 🚗🙌
