It's a back-to-back win for the red team, led today by Harrison and Kyan!! Well done to all students who participated today, and all the staff members who made the carnival happen. Look out for more photos on social media soon and in the next newsletter.
PIX4TEAM
We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our Sports Academy - the PIX4TEAM Camera - a cutting-edge, AI-powered auto-tracking camera designed to capture every moment of our Rugby League, Netball, and Football games.
This innovative technology follows the play automatically, providing high-quality footage that allows our coaches to thoroughly review performances. It also creates exciting opportunities for students to reflect on their gameplay, understand team strategies, and work on improving their individual and collective performance.
At Bentley Park College, we are committed to providing our students with the best tools and experiences to support their athletic development and the PIX4TEAM Camera is a big step forward in achieving that goal.
Stay tuned for highlights and insights from our upcoming games!
