CIS Primary Girls Netball Championships

Green Point Christian College has always been very competitive in netball. We have many talented and experienced players in both Primary and Secondary who love the game, play it all the time and relish the competition.

Last week, two of our talented players Emily B and Bronte M, both of who were selected in the CSSA Team, travelled to Sydney to compete at the CIS Primary Girls Netball Championships.

To even be selected in the CSSA team is a feat in itself; to then compete at a CIS competition is another level entirely.

These girls had a fantastic time, playing numerous games throughout the day, representing CSSA proudly.

The CSSA team performed exceptionally well and to top it off Bronte was selected in the CIS Primary Girls Netball Team.

This is a superb achievement by both Emily and Bronte to make it to CIS and then for Bronte to be selected in CIS was some icing on the cake. Congratulations girls.

CIS Secondary Open Girls Basketball Championships

Basketball is a very challenging sport.

It can take people a long time to develop the skills, strategies, techniques and knowledge of the game.

We have a number of very talented and experienced players at our school, with quite a few playing at a representative level.

In 2019, our Primary Girls Basketball team were a dominant force. They competed in the CSSA Girls Basketball Competition and came a close second which was an impressive effort. They competed again in 2020 and demonstrated to Christian Schools in NSW how talented they are, by easily winning every game and taking out the competition.

One player in this Primary team was Sophie V. She has been playing basketball for many years and just keeps getting better. She played an important role in the Primary teams and now, being in Year 7, is part of the U15 Girls team.

Out of school, Sophie has continued to develop and improve her basketball skills, with selection in the Gosford Rebels team the last couple of years. She loves the challenge of competition and thrives on playing other experienced players, even those much older than her.

This year, Sophie was selected to play in the CSSA Secondary Open Girls Team - a team comprised of players who could be 17-18 years of age. Keep in mind that Sophie is only in Year 7 and 13 years of age.

This CSSA team competed at the CIS Basketball Championships last week and Sophie had a fantastic time. To represent her school and CSSA at this elite basketball competition was definitely a great experience for Sophie and we congratulate her on such a wonderful achievement.
