With two hours of exploring ahead of them, the girls wound their way up the levels experimenting and reading about endless scientific phenomenon's and new discoveries. When time was up, souvenirs were bought and lunch was had, it was onto the Royal Australian Mint.
This was an unplanned visit, but a great one. The girls were able to read all about the history of coins in Australia as well watch the coins being made and packaged.
From the mint, we made a quick trip up Mount Ainslie as the rain began to fall. Despite the wind and dropping temperatures the view was stunning! The girls had a chance to see from the war memorial right through to Parliament House.
Before the girls caught a chill, it was back to the accommodation for an afternoon rest and hair designing session before setting off for our second game of netball against Radford College.
Arriving at Radford, temperatures had now dropped to approximately 6 degrees, and as the girls walked into their sports hall it felt even colder! Without making a fuss the teams got straight into a warm up with Mrs Watson and Mrs Wood. There were no complaints about shuttle runs this time! When the games began at 6:30pm, the girls all came out on court with aggression and a will to win and that they did. The Year 8 result was 28-9 to Grammar whilst the Year 9s won 31-11!
Over the first two games the following players have been recognised by Mrs Wood and Mes Watson
for their great performances: Caitlin Hilton, Ruby Kenway, Nikhita Nair and Lilli Allen.
Also, Emily Price and Lou-Isa Natoga were recognised as best and fairest by Radford College.
