Gala Days

Gala Sport Wrap Up

Our final Gala Days for the year saw our Year 5 and 6 students take to the fields and for Touch Football, AFL, Cricket, and Baseball under some very hot conditions! Despite the heat, our students showed incredible determination, teamwork, and resilience, representing Ascot State School with pride.

Across all sports, it was wonderful to see students supporting one another, demonstrating fair play, and putting into practice the skills they’ve developed throughout the year. There were some fantastic results on the scoreboard, but even more impressive were the moments of sportsmanship, encouragement, and teamwork that stood out across every team.

A special thank you to parent Ed Turley for volunteering his time to assist with the Girls Touch Football and for umpiring throughout the day — your help was greatly appreciated!

Thank you to staff for your support, and to the students for giving their best effort and showing such great Ascot spirit. What a wonderful way to finish the year of Gala Sport!
