Rainbow Warrior

After the establishment of Apartheid in 1948, it became the norm for national teams visiting South Africa to quietly drop their players of color.

Term 1 Reflection

I liked how we can play dodgeball with the class and dodgeball has been fun. I was wondering if we could play ball after school as well. We could book the hall and my friends could be having fun. Today's game was the last one before next term.
