Year 12 vs Teachers Sports Competition

This week during lunchtime we hosted the highly anticipated annual Year 12 vs Teachers sports competition. The events were spread across the week as follows: Netball on Monday, Basketball on Tuesday, Soccer on Wednesday, Oztag on Thursday, and Dodgeball on Friday. The games took place on the oval and in the MPC.

The competition was an incredible success, full of excitement and team spirit. The Year 12 students triumphed in basketball, taking the win in an intense overtime finish. The soccer match ended in a thrilling 3–3 draw, while the teachers narrowly secured victories in both netball and Oztag.

These matches were the highlight of the week, drawing enthusiastic support from students, teachers, and spectators alike.

State Basketball Gala Day

The Senior Boys Basketball team had a fantastic gala day, showcasing great teamwork and determination. They won 3 out of their 5 games, finishing strong in 3rd place overall. Each of the boys displayed hard work and commitment in every match, and their sportsmanship and dedication have made us proud. A special mention to all the Year 12 boys on the team, finishing their Secondary school basketball careers on a high note. Congratulations to the team for their outstanding performances over the last two gala days.
