Roma State College netball squad off to NZ
NETBALL: WATCHING her girls soar through the competitions this year has been a source of joy for curriculum teacher Rebecca Swan but she couldn't have been prouder seeing them off to New Zealand on Tuesday.
The netball curriculum teacher farewelled her students on their tour of New Zealand, which will have them playing games in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston and Wellington as part of their studies.
Ms Swan said the tour became a reality upon parental expression, saying the girls were very excited.
"It's a mix of curriculum studies through their games and a cultural experience when they're not playing," she said.
"This is a good way to wrap up the year and see some of the seniors off."
She said some of the girls had played netball together for almost 10 years.
"It's all a very exciting way to finish the year, especially for those who might go on to play professionally in the future," Ms Swan said.
"This tour will give them the opportunity to see how other teams across the world play."
