NSW PSSA Athletics Carnival
A huge congratulations to Maeve Gordon who competed in the NSWPSSA Athletics Championship in Sydney. She ran 28.71s in the 200m and came 21st overall, and ran 13.94sec in the 100m for 24th overall. Amazingly, Maeve smashed her PBs in both races. We are so proud of your efforts and are excited to see what the future holds for you in Athletics!
Basketball- D-League
Noah Craig was recently selected to play in the Under-14s D-League. The D-League is a development competition designed for young players to build their skills, teamwork, and game experience. The top 25 Country and 25 Metro under-14 boys came together in Penrith for the event. Noah’s team came away with three wins and one narrow loss by just five points. This was an amazing experience for Noah as he continues to grow in his basketball journey.
West Ham United UK Tour
We are incredibly proud to share that William Creighton has been selected to represent the West Ham United UK Development Tour in 2026. In Week 10 of last term, he travelled to Queensland to trial alongside over 500 talented players, with only 20 earning selection for this prestigious opportunity. This achievement is a testament to his dedication, skill, and commitment to football. Later next year, he will travel to London to train with professional West Ham coaches and experience football at an elite international level. Congratulations Will, on this amazing accomplishment and an experience of a lifetime!
