Lightning strikes state schools
By Marina Gomide
GLASSHOUSE Mountains, Beerwah and Beerburrum State Schools (SS) were three of nearly 45 primary schools who took part in Unitywater’s Lightning Cup on Friday, August 23.
The primary school-based netball competition and carnival event saw 76 teams (532 students) from schools across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Noosa and Gympie regions competing for one of the three trophies up for grabs – Lightning (championship), Storm (boys) and Thunder (development).
Glasshouse Mountains State School had both a Storm and Thunder team competing, while Beerwah and Beerburrum state schools formed a single team in the Thunder category.
The students also had a chance to meet players of the Sunshine Coast Lightning netball team, who put on the event with Unitywater. While none of the teams won a trophy, we congratulate all kids for playing!
