Ratten said the team had a mix of grade six and grade five students, with the majority playing club footy for the Coolum Breakers.

“This team is very well balanced, with all players contributing and fulfilling specific roles,” he said.

“They’re very coachable, they listen and are always willing to try new things to enhance their game, which is a big thank you to Dan Fisher from the Breakers for volunteering his time to coach and train the team.”

Ratten said he was proud of his side’s journey to the finals.

“The team has developed a close bond, both at school and in the community, with every player demonstrating a growth mindset,” he said.

“As a school, we are proud of the way the students have conducted themselves at the carnival so far on and off the field.

“They have played fairly, shown sportsmanship and respect to the umpires, officials and other teams.”
