Competitive Sport

Basketball

Snr A Girls: The girls suffered a tough loss, not only on the scoreboard, but in terms of players with two getting injured on court and two unable to play before the game even started. This week is an essential game to win if they are to make it into semi-finals!

Snr A Boys: The boys went down to one of the top teams in the competition and unfortunately, their season is now over. Well done to the team on all their efforts.

Snr B Girls: Had a good win against Siena Catholic College which keeps them in the running for semi-finals (but they will need to win their next game to get there!). The girls have been improving throughout the season and are playing well as a team. Well done girls.

Snr D Girls: Had a tough loss on Friday, narrowly going down by a few points. It is a close competition in this division and the girls will also need to win their next game to stay in the top four teams for semi-finals.

Snr D Boys: Played their first home game of the season, taking on Chancellor SHS. The boys played well as a team and started the game neck and neck with their opponents. However, some big plays by Zac, Nick and Dylan saw them take control and record a big win. The boys have a bye this week but are certain to play in the semis.

Jnr B and C Boys: Both teams played at Pacific for their season opener. The boys started off well in their first quarters but were out matched by their opponents’ defensive efforts. It was a great first game together and the boys will no doubt continue to improve throughout the season.

Junior E Boys: The team recorded a big win over St Andrew’s Anglican College to start their season off well. It is bound to be a competitive season in this division and a learning experience as well.

Rugby

Our 1st XV travelled to Gympie to play St Patrick’s College and recorded an exciting 24-22 win. The Under 14s continued their strong season with a convincing 32-5 win over Siena Catholic College. Lastly, our Under 16 Girls also played Siena’s A team. Unfortunately, they lost to a much faster and experienced team, bringing their winning streak to an end.

Water Polo

Our Senior Girls played their last game on Monday night, going down to Matthew Flinders Anglican College (MFAC) in a very close game (9-8 points). Well done to the girls on their season. The Intermediate A Girls played St John’s but unfortunately went down 14-2. Lastly, the Intermediate A Boys played MFAC and had a fantastic 10-9 win.  

Touch Football

Our girls touch football teams played Glasshouse Christian College on Wednesday afternoon. The Junior A Girls had a well-deserved 3-1 win whilst the Intermediate Girls, who were missing some key players, went down 2-1 in a tight game.

Athletics Carnivals

Last week, the Primary and Secondary Athletics Carnivals were held at The University of the Sunshine Coast. We were blessed with sunny conditions for both carnivals and it was fantastic to see so many students competing for their house on the day.

Well done to Mumba House who were the champions at the Year 3-6 Carnival and Bula House who won the Year 7-12 event.

Results from these carnivals will be used to select a team for the upcoming 10-19yrs Independent District Athletics Carnival. The carnival will be held over Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th of September at The University of the Sunshine Coast. Parents of students who have been selected will receive notification this week.
