Ladder Tennis – 11/11/25

Our lower school learners have been working hard to create a new activity for our land craft site.
They learned how to use a spade, post hole digger, and a spirit level in order to set two 3-metre-long upright wooden posts into the ground.
The next step was to create a series of horizontal ‘ladder’ rungs. They did this by painting some thinner poles before adding them to the upright posts.
A drill was then used to make holes in two tennis balls and then strung them with rope to create ‘bolos’ in order to create and play their very own giant version of ‘ladder tennis’.

Some of our learners visited Orchard Nurseries as part of the careers program. This gave them an opportunity to explore careers within horticulture.
They were shown around by the proprietor and discussed aspects of plant care, propagation, careers and progression and the different transferable skills and qualities that the employer looks for in their employees.
To finish off the visit, they were given the opportunity to select and plant their own bulbs.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Orchard Nurseries.
