AFL Competition

Our Year 11 and 12 AFL students had the opportunity to play in a local gala day this week and represented themselves and the school in an extraordinary manner. 

They played 2 games against some strong opposition. Sandgate District State High School and Kelvin Grove State College. The team did go down in both games however showed great character and determination. 

Well done to the team.
