PE Week
Throughout week 10, we commenced PE week which provided an opportunity to celebrate sport within our Endeavour community. Throughout the week students participated in a range of sport related activities including Just Dance in the mall, Zumba and stretching classes run by Miss Gray and Mrs Adolphi and PE week quiz.
The annual staff verse student’s netball and volleyball games put the Year 12 students’ abilities to the test with an end result of students taking out the netball and staff supposedly winning volleyball.
The week culminated with a non-uniform day where students were encouraged to dress as their favorite athletes. Even with the unexpected weather conditions which posed challenges to the structure of the week, students across all year levels were still able to get involved and it was great to see so many enthusiastic participants.

This term two year 8/9 girls netball teams were selected and nominated to play in the weekly North Eastern Vista competition played on Tuesday against others schools; Golden Grove, Parafield Gardens and Modbury. Both teams had competitive matches every week and improved considerably as the term went on.

Thank you to Briarn Dixon for assisting to coach and Paige Manning, Grace Gregurev, Madison Clark, Lily Fountain , Amber Eckermann, Alicia Botten and Andrea Campbell for umpiring our games.

Year 7/8 Girls Soccer
After an intensive pre-season building up to the Year 7/8 Girls’ SACSA Soccer Carnival on 16 September, the girls played some excellent soccer and did Endeavour proud. At the end of the round robin phase, the girls’ team was at the top of the ladder with two wins, two draws, and one loss. Kaitlyn and Angelina both scored 2 goals each and Charlie scored 1.
They worked very hard to maintain pressure on their opponents while showing grace in the face of some interesting refereeing. In the semi-final against Tyndale SE, the girls fought valiantly but went down 1-0. They put it all on the line one more time but sadly went down to Temple 1-0 for a final position of 4th out of 6. The girls had a great day playing in good spirits and in good grace.

Year 9/10 Girls Soccer
Whilst most Endeavour students were ‘glamming’ it up at school for Photo Day a committed group of 14 girls boarded the bus for the annual Year 9-10 Soccer Carnival at West Beach. A couple of late inclusions added some strength to our numbers and we started the day with a strong win in our first game. Our success continued into game 2 and we continued to play well all day, drawing some matches and were unlucky to lose a couple of games by a single goal! We finished in 6th place and were proud of our efforts as most of the girls only had experience playing Soccer in PE lessons at school.
Our forward line was well led by Jessica Pegoli who scored 4 great goals during our matches, dazzling the opposition with some fancy foot work and great speed. In the back lines, Isabella Marafioti provide a strong defence and assisted our less experienced players in finding their correct positioning. She was well supported by rookie goalkeeper Elizabeth Bolo, who made her debut in goals on the day. Elizabeth proved to be courageous and skilful, preventing many opposition goal scoring opportunities. All other players contributed throughout the games showing determination and commitment. We are hopeful of keeping many of our players for next year’s team where we are determined to finish in a top 4 position. Thanks to the Year 10 boys who assisted with linesmen duties during our games.

Year 9/10 Boys Soccer
Our Year 9/10 SACSA Soccer team had a great day during our recent carnival. Playing against strong opposition, Endeavour played some very strong soccer early in the carnival, finishing 2nd in their pool, only conceding 1 goal after our first 4 games.
After narrowly losing their semi-final, Endeavour played Kings Baptist for 3rd position, resulting in a 2-2 draw. The spirit, attitude and sportsmanship displayed throughout the day was incredible by the team.

Year 11/12 Boys Soccer
On Friday 18 September the Year 11-12 Boys Soccer team participated in the Open Boys SACSA Soccer carnival at West Beach.
The team had been training for a number of weeks and was feeling well prepared for a day of battle on the Soccer field. At the end of the 5 minor round games Endeavour was undefeated, with wins over Prescott, Emmaus, Portside and Kings with a draw against Temple Mile End. We then met Temple Paralowie in the Semi Final and defeated them 2-0. This left us with the Final against Tyndale. After a full day of games, the boys were valiant in defeat against Tyndale, going down 3-0 in a heated and passionate display, giving us the Runners Up position overall. As a coach I was very proud of the efforts each member of the team displayed on the day, they played with energy, passion and good sportsmanship. Next year we will get the top spot!
