It’s back: The excitement in Chan Shun Auditorium this past Monday (September 5) was palpable as almost 100 people jump started the Avondale Netball Association. The initiative and enthusiasm of organisers Lucy Johnson, Hannah Purcell and Rebecca Pyke, all first-year students, impressed director of student services Kevin Judge. “We thought there’d only be four teams—we had twelve.” Final-year Bachelor of Education (Secondary) student Conrad Ling, who helped organise the most recent competition in 2008, described the atmosphere and support as “terrific.” The competition this year includes mixed teams and teams from the community.—Sonja Larsen Credit: Sonja Larsen.
