Celebrating Victory - ACC Junior Girls Basketball Team Shines in Grand Final

On Tuesday 30 May, our ACC Junior Girls Basketball team showcased their remarkable skills and determination as they triumphed over Kennedy with a resounding score of 72-45 in the highly-anticipated grand final. This victory comes after their stellar performance in both the knockout stage and the one-day carnival, where they exhibited exceptional teamwork and resilience.

The journey to the grand final was not an easy one, but our team persevered with unwavering dedication. They displayed incredible sportsmanship and worked tirelessly under the guidance and expertise of our outstanding coaches: Coach Colin, Mr Godfrey, and Mr Houwen. Their commitment to developing the team's skills and strategies played a vital role in this remarkable achievement.

Notably, this triumph marks a significant milestone in our College's history. It is the first time our school has emerged victorious in this prestigious competition. The ACC Junior Girls Basketball team has truly made its mark, leaving an indelible impression on both the players and the wider school community.

It's important to acknowledge the immense support the team received from their families. The unwavering encouragement and dedication of our parents throughout the journey were truly invaluable. Their cheers from the sidelines and constant presence at the games undoubtedly boosted the morale of our athletes.

The ACC Junior Girls Basketball team faced stiff competition throughout the tournament, with over 70 schools vying for the title. Their ability to rise above the challenges and emerge victorious is a testament to their hard work, talent, and commitment to the sport.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to every member of the ACC Junior Girls Basketball team for their outstanding achievement. Their triumph serves as an inspiration to all our students, reminding them that with dedication, teamwork, and perseverance, anything is possible.

As a school, we are immensely proud of their success, and we look forward to witnessing their continued growth and accomplishments in the world of sports. Let us celebrate this remarkable victory together and applaud the ACC Junior Girls Basketball team for their outstanding performance.

St Norbert Senior Girls and Boys ACC Carnival Soccer

I am thrilled to announce the outstanding success of our school's football teams at the recent ACC (Associated & Catholic Colleges) Carnival, held at Curtin University. Both our senior boys and girls teams demonstrated exceptional skills, determination, and teamwork throughout the carnival, securing victories in every match and remaining undefeated.

The Senior Boys team, led by captain Gion Escape, showcased exceptional skill and sportsmanship throughout the carnival. They displayed an impressive level of teamwork, working together and playing a great brand of football. It was evident that their countless hours of practice and dedication paid off, as they won each game convincingly. The boys will now progress to the round of 16 which will take place early in Term 3.

Equally impressive was the Senior Girls team. These talented young women showcased their exceptional football skills, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with on the field. They displayed great resilience and teamwork, and were also able to remain undefeated. The girls were building confidence as the carnival went on and they now play a home quarter final on Tuesday 1 August.

The success of both teams at the ACC Carnival is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of the players, as well as the coaching staff. A big thankyou is in order for our football coach Rama Kabwe for taking our Senior Girls team. Both teams will continue to train in the cold mornings to keep the dream alive of progressing further in the competition. Depth is strong for both teams which will keep the training attendance and intensity high.

The most pleasing aspect of the carnival was the playing group for both teams included a number of younger students, ranging from Year 8 up to Year 12. The football program has the philosophy that if you are good enough, it doesn’t matter how young you are, you will get an opportunity. 

It would be great to see a big crowd to support the girls in their upcoming quarter-final and more information of how you can show your support will be given at a later date.

Dare to dream!
