o l o P r e t Wa Water-polo has been such fun this year! Whilst the water crisis affected our matches drastically, with venues being cut throughout Term 1 on an ongoing basis, our girls still managed to play some really exciting friendlies and soon established themselves as a spirited force to be reckoned with. We were fortunate to have the use of the girls high school polo pool and played as many matches as we could at this venue. Our U11 teams learnt quickly and produced some pleasing polo and our U12 and U13 players developed stamina and skill. Our training programme produced good successes at the All Girls Festival and we attended some epic tournaments during the term, although these were also curtailed due to the water shortage. We hope for growth in the number of our girls playing this exciting sport. We continue to strive for greatness in the Water-Polo pool – this is a sport that our girls take to like ducks to water and which is so good for them, both mentally and physically.
