INTERSCHOOL CHESS - TUESDAY 15TH MAY 2018

17 Wentworth Primary students took part in the annual Hibiscus Coast Chess Tournament held in Silverdale last week. Students ranged from Years 2 to 6 with varying degrees of chess experience but all were keen players. There were almost 100 competitors from six different schools and each participant played seven matches. We witnessed many tough battles across the boards and, whatever the outcome of each game, the sporting behaviour displayed was wonderful.
Our top player was Vincent Liu (Year 6), who finished in 7th position overall but we had many others playing matches on the top 5 tables during the tournament. Wentworth School ended the tournament just beaten into 4th place. Congratulations to all our chess champions!
Team: Amy Akehurst, Rory Brabant, Kahn Heath, Elijah Kirkpatrick, Ananda Krageloh, Elsa Liu, Louis Liu, Vincent Liu, Corbus Luke, Ben Oliver, Brooke Oliver, Jessica Rensen, Thomas Rensen, Daniel Still, Claire Sun, Daniel Vaudrey, Luke Vaudrey.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WENTWORTH WARRIORS - 21ST MAY 2018

This team has played together for several seasons and were keen to strut their stuff in the pool. The team played well, looking for space and creating gaps. The final score was 18-1 to Wentworth. Player of the Day was Ben Rist for fast accurate passing and great positional play.
Flippa Ball training for the Years 3 & 4 and Years 5 & 6 teams will take place on Fridays at the Leisure Centre from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 3 & 4 - WENTWORTH MARLINS - 21ST MAY 2018

The Years 3 & 4 had their first game for the season. With the exception of Sienna this was the first game ever for all the other players. The Wentworth Marlins played well for their first game, and while there is a lot to learn, I was really pleased with their game. The final score was a 1-5 loss for Wentworth.  Player of the Day was Anna Langridge for her high work rate and passing the ball.
Flippa Ball training for the Years 3 & 4 and Years 5 & 6 teams will take place on Fridays at the Leisure Centre from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.

WEETBIX TRYATHLON - 26 MARCH 2018

he sun shone brightly on our Wentworth Weetbix Tryathletes but it was not quite as bright as the smiles on faces as they crossed the finish line!  Their commitment, dedication and 'give-it-a-go' attitude impressed all of the spectators as we witnessed our students challenge themselves to complete a swim, cycle and run............all before midday. To top off a fabulous event, Wentworth won a prize for the highest percentage of triathletes based on the school roll!  Wow!  What an achievement!  Once again, Wentworth has 'punched above its weight' (as Mr D would say) and proven that we may be a small school but we are HUGE in terms of both our school pride and our participation! Weetbix sponsored sports equipment and a chilli-bin filled with Watties products will be heading our way with help from Teresa Sell's family who kindly transported the goodies after the event.  Thank you!  A big thank you must also go to Michael Coutts and the team of Wentworth College students who gave up their free time to set up tents and give support to our budding athletes.  We appreciate their efforts and thank them for being such fabulous role models for their younger peers and ambassadors for the school.  Appreciation must also be given to all of the parents and families who awoke early Sunday morning and helped our Tryathletes prepare and get ready to make it to the start line. Without you, none of this would be possible.  Thank you!
Unfortunately we missed the opportunity to take a group photo as we were collecting our fabulous prize, so please keep your Weetbix T-shirts and medals handy as we will be requesting that you bring these into school for a group photo before the end of the term.
Bring on next year’s event!
