K-2 Swimming Carnival

Last Friday, students in K-2 participated in our swimming carnival at the Peninsula Leisure Centre, Woy Woy.

The children had lots of fun swimming, splashing, jumping, sliding, and playing with their classmates. There were even a couple of keen teachers who wanted to be part of the action. A highlight for many children that I’ve spoken to was the inflatable obstacle course and slippery water slide.

I’d like to thank all the parent helpers for braving the chilly pool water or handing out ribbons, to the house captains and school captains for setting a great example helping each grade and finally to the teachers for being simply amazing and running each activity.

CSSA 15/15 Cricket Knockout Competition

On Tuesday 24 October our Senior Boys Cricket team represented the College at the CSSA Cricket Knockout Competition at Adcock Park.

The boys knew they’d be up for some tough matches and a long day. Three games were to be played in total and the scorching heat provided another challenge.

In the first game against Belmont, we made the perfect start by rattling their batting order for 32 runs only for our boys to suffer the same fate and fall short by 6 runs. Superb bowling from Caleb M and Conor M provided most of our wickets.

Game two against Pacific Hills was a much higher scoring affair with Pacific Hills scoring 105 runs and we were able to reply with a decent score of 94 and a much-improved batting performance. Special mention goes to James G who topped scored.

In game three we met Northern Beaches who could not bowl all our players out but kept us to a modest total of 46 runs in 15 overs. We knew we would have to bowl well to have any chance and their opener quickly put an end to any hope we had by scoring the required total quickly for a well-deserved victory.

I’d like to congratulate all the boys for playing well throughout the day and fighting until the end. Some excellent batting, bowling and fielding was witnessed from the boys and they can all be very proud of themselves. Thank you to Mrs Kelly Gillen for being our chief scorer for the day.

Well done Hamish G (c), James G (vc), Luke L, Alex B, Hamish L, Caleb M, Conor M, Monty C, Andries dK, J
