QGSSSA Autumn Fixtures 

In a thrilling conclusion to weeks of preparation, and fierce competition, the Autumn Fixtures for our QGSSSA teams—Basketball, Football, and Touch Football—have come to an exhilarating end with QGSSSA Reconciliation Round against St Hilda’s School. The final standings are in, reflecting noteworthy commitment and determination of our athletes. 

One standout feature of this season has been the remarkable resilience and tenacity of our girls. Our students faced physically demanding training sessions, intense matches, and the inevitable setbacks that come with competitive sport. Yet, they persevered, showcasing determination that went far beyond the confines of the sports field. Through the ups and downs, the girls learnt that setbacks are not insurmountable obstacles but rather opportunities for growth and self-improvement.  

To all Autumn fixtures participants, CC Sport salutes you for your commitment and passion. The display of sportsmanship has made us immensely proud. A special acknowledgment goes to our coaches, whose expertise and leadership have been pivotal in shaping cohesive and spirited teams. Your commitment is deeply valued and appreciated. 

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents, families, and friends whose steadfast support has been invaluable. Your cheers and encouragement from the sidelines have inspired the girls. Thank you for being an integral part of our Autumn Fixtures season.
