Wednesday’s Volleyball competition included a Girls Year 10 & 11 team and Boys Year 10 & 11 team. Final placings for the day saw our girls team finish 9th from a pool of 9 teams and the boys finish 7th out of 14 teams.

Final placings saw the boys finish 8th and 14th from a pool of 14 teams while the girls finished 13th and 15th out of 16 teams. We are looking forward to returning next year to improve on our results and enjoy another day of good competition.

On Thursday the long awaited staff vs Year 12 students Netball game was held, showcasing some serious talent between the two teams. The staff were too strong, gaining a quick lead and maintaining it for the remainder of a hard fought match. Thursday was a also a sports themed non-uniform day, where everyone was asked to dress up in their team colours to raise money for our Compassion Sponsor Child. It was great to see so many people get involved!
