Our Division 2 team went through undefeated and beat Friends in a tight, rainy Grand Final.
Our Division 1 team also went undefeated through their SATIS roster and beat Hutchins in the SSATIS Grand Final — a title we’ve never won before! This qualified them for the Tassie Hawks Qualifier against Hobart City High. The Qualifier was a hard-fought contest, but we took the win by 3 points, earning our place in the Tassie Hawks Cup in Launceston on September 17 — a history-making moment for the College!

Touch Football Championships

A special shoutout goes to Mr Westell, Mrs Gardner, Ms Pearce, Mr Grace, and Mr Feldmann for coaching these teams and generously donating their time outside school hours for training and tryouts.

We saw fantastic results from our teams:

7/8 Boys – Southern Champions
7/8 Girls – Southern Champions
9/10 Boys – Southern Champions
9/10 Girls – Southern Runners-up

All 4 out of 4 teams have qualified for the State Championships in Launceston in Term 4!
