“Howzat!?” Absolutely fantastic. No crickets could be heard over the sound of the music playing and the students enjoying batting and bowling in the Big Bash Cricket event. Students from Joondalup Primary School and Joondalup Education Support Centre spent the day versing Beldon Primary School, Beldon Education Support Centre and Springfield Primary School.

Cricket academy students from Belridge Secondary College were there to umpire the games along with entertainment and giveaways provided by the WACA. Who emerged as the overall winner? Nobody knows. The event was played in good spirits, where the scores were secondary to the sportsmanship and social atmosphere that the day provided.

Joondalup Primary School and Joondalup Education Support Centre were represented by excellent role models and conducted themselves as usual, with a high degree of integrity, positivity and skill.

Thank you to all the staff who participated in the event. Your work is always appreciated by the school community. Thank you to the parents who came to support the students. It really lifts the spirit of the students when they see a friendly face. Thank you to the students who consistently represent the Joondalup Schools to an exceedingly high standard.

If your child would like to get into cricket, there is a great cricket club that trains and plays at Windermere Reserve, directly across the road from the schools. This includes programs for all ages and abilities plus there are already students from the Joondalup Schools who are a part of this club, making integration easier. Joondalup Kinross Cricket club also have programs for Education Support Centre students, which is where Mr Lee used to coach before starting at the Joondalup Schools.
