Today TPPS had two teams in the Regional Hoop Time Finals held at the State Basketball Centre, The TPPS Titans and TPPS Trailblazers. The Titans won their way through to this day after earning a wildcard on their round-robin day and put up a very good effort in a tough pool. They started off strong, winning their first game, however, they were narrowly defeated in their final three pool games. The Trailblazers won their round-robin day and came into today with high hopes. In the group stages they lived up to their expectations having two convincing victories and only one defeat, earning a final against St Francis Xavier PS. The Trailblazers left their best basketball for last, winning their final convincingly by 16 points and booking a spot in the Hoop Time State Finals to be played on Friday 30th November. To round off the day, Will C (6C) also won a 3-point shoot-out competition to win a box of balls for his teammates and the school. Well done to both teams on the encouragement and support they gave each other throughout the day!

Today marks the official last day of Walktober. Well done to all those students who made an effort to active travel to school over the past four weeks. We had an overwhelming turnout to Wednesday's walk to school with Mark Roberts and Lottie the Crossing Guard, showing just how successful a campaign it has been. It's been amazing to see so many students on the local streets walking, riding and scooting before and after school. Remember, just because Walktober has finished, it doesn't mean the benefits of active travel have, so see if you keep it up until the end of the year!
This week, TPPS had two teams participate in the Eastern Regional Finals, the Boys Basketball team and Girls Softball Team. The boys were first up on Tuesday and had to tackle an evenly matched pool. In the first game they played against a fired up St Jude's, who TPPS had beaten in their recent Hoop Time Regional Finals. Unfortunately the boys were not able to get the same result as last time, losing by 7 points. In their second game, the boys were able to bounce back and win by 4 points against Ferny Creek, but unfortunately they fell short by 1 point in their final game of the day. Today the girls played their Regional Finals and impressed with Tempy spirit, team work and encouragement, seeing them win all three games in their group stage to earn a spot in the final. The girls shot off to an early lead in the final and held on to take out the Regional Championship! The girls will now play in the SSV State Softball Championships to be held on Wednesday 28th November. Well done boys and girls!
In Week 1 of Term 4, the 3/4 Future Stars travelled to Kilsyth to participate in their Regional Hoop Time Finals. Tempy Thunder had a very successful day, winning all their games in the group stage including clashes against local rivals OLOP and Serpell, to advance to a qualifying final. Their first half of the final was a one-sided affair with TPPS into the main break by 8 points. A second half fight back saw the Thunder lose by two points. However, due to their excellent form on the day, they have been invited through to the State Finals on Thursday 29th November.
Today, the Grade 4 All Star Boys competed in their Regional Hoop Time Finals at Nunawading. The boys played very well as a team and improved their performances throughout the day.
