Hot Chocolate with the Head

As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are all trying our best to go 'Channel your Clockhouse Compass' in everything to ensure that our school is a fabulous place to be and the children get the best all round experience possible. Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Reinecke and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!

Year 5 and 6 do a great job representing Clockhouse

The Year 5 and 6 football teams arrived at the league eager and excited to represent their school, facing off against several different schools in a series of competitive matches. Both teams showed great spirit, teamwork, and determination throughout the tournament.

Girls Team Highlights:

The girls played their first-ever competitive match outside of school as a team and they impressed with their commitment and teamwork. Their first match was against Towers Primary, where they initially struggled to find their rhythm, losing 3-0. However, the girls did not let this setback deter them. They took everything they had learned from training and applied it in their next game against Drapers. The girls came back strong, securing a well-deserved 2-0 victory, with Isabelle and Poppy our captain scoring the goals and Amelia making some brilliant saves in goal with the defenders standing strong.

In addition to their league matches, the girls also participated in a couple of friendly matches, where they displayed their growing confidence and skill, winning both with impressive performances. At the end of the afternoon the girls were awarded the Respect award for how they played through out the league which was a huge reward for all their hard work and sportsmanship they displayed in all matches.

 

Team - Captain – Poppy (Fiji), Amelia (Fiji), Lexi (Australia), Lola (Australia), Robyn (Fiji), Isabelle (Australia), Tessa (China), Alyzah (China) and Hallee (Japan).

 

Boys Team Highlights:

The boys' team quickly gelled together and played some great football throughout the league. They started with a tough 2-0 loss to Towers Primary but did not lose focus. In their next match against Drapers Brookside, they managed to secure a 1-1 draw, with George scoring a brilliant goal.

The boys saved their best performance for last, finishing on a high note with a 1-0 victory over Drapers Maylands, with Danilo scoring the match-winning goal with a fantastic strike.

Overall, both teams showed tremendous growth and resilience throughout the league, with the girls and boys working hard and demonstrating the true spirit of competition. The experience was a valuable one for all the players, helping to build their skills, confidence, and teamwork. We look forward to even greater successes in future competitions!

Year 1 and 2 bask in the opportunity to represent Clockhouse

Both the Year 1 and Year 2 teams arrived at the football festival full of excitement and energy. For many of the children, this was their first ever competition representing Clockhouse Primary School and they embraced the opportunity with enthusiasm and determination.

Year 2 Team Highlights

The Year 2 team displayed excellent teamwork throughout all their matches, always pushing forward and showing great resilience. The first three matches were challenging and despite their best efforts, the team was defeated. However, they did not let this get them down. In their fourth match, the team found their rhythm and earned a fantastic 5-1 victory against Hylands Primary. Ralph and Henry both scored two goals each, with Ellison adding the final goal to secure the win.

The team’s confidence grew from this victor and they carried that momentum into their final match of the day. They defeated Elm Park 2-1, with Ellison scoring both goals and Leo making some very impressive saves, leading the team to a well-deserved triumph.

Team - Ellison (Canada), Ollie (Mexico), Henry (Mexico), Ralphie (Mexico), Leo (Canada), Thea (Canada) and Nellie (Canada).

Year 1 Team Highlights

The Year 1 team played in their very first tournament together, facing a series of tough and competitive matches. Despite the challenges, the team showed great spirit and scored some brilliant goals throughout the day. Mattias and Vinnie were the standout scorers, contributing key goals for the team.

In addition to their impressive performance on the field, the Year 1 team earned the Respect Award for their dedication, sportsmanship, and positive attitude throughout the festival. Their behaviour and respect for their opponents and teammates truly set an example for others to follow.

Team - Vinnie (Italy), Lenart (Italy), Mattias (Italy), Frank (Italy), Luke (France), Lola (Italy) and Erynn(Spain).

Both teams showed tremendous effort and enthusiasm, with the Year 2 team proving their resilience and ability to bounce back from earlier defeats. The Year 1 team displayed excellent sportsmanship and dedication, earning well-deserved recognition for their positive attitude. The football festival was a fantastic experience for all involved, and the players represented Clockhouse Primary with pride and enthusiasm. We look forward to more opportunities to build on these experiences and continue growing as a team.
