Primary Sport - Britton Shield

Britton Shield Cross Country

The inaugural Britton Shield Cross Country carnival took place on a pleasant Friday June 3 at Limestone Park, Ipswich. 

Sports Captain, Daniel Nam, proved the value of regular training attendance with a solid second place in the first race of the day – under 12s. The under 11s was the next race and new student Alex Mi demonstrated great determination to come 3rd and gave 100%, leaving nothing behind. Whereas the under 10s worked incredibly well together as a team. The under 9s also had some solid performances to enable them to come a credible second. The stand out age group were the under 8s with Charlie Quinn coming 2nd to lead the team to an age group championship. Well done to all the boys who participated and it was clear to see the benefits of regular training. All boys are invited to return in 2023 and to continue the great achievements started by our Year 2 and 3 students.

Secondary Sports Update

QGSSSA Cross Country

CONGRATULATIONS to all girls who gave their all last Saturday at the QGSSSA Cross Country Championships to take out FIRST place in the Joan Benson Percentage Shield. 

This is a truly amazing achievement and a testament to the coaching team and the new direction taken in 2022 and the efforts of the girls who regularly attended the training. Some key performances that secured this victory were as follows:

Leila Johnson (5th place in U 16)

Poppy Stephen (13th place in U16)

Half of all CC runners finished in the middle of the field, with all events fielding over 90 – 120 runners per age group. Not only did our girls finish strong in terms of their position within the race, but there were also so many brilliant finishers who overtook a number of girls in the sprint to the finish line, an amazing effort!

A special thanks must also go out to all the spectators who attended, students, staff and parents. Their cheering, drumming and signing certainly added to the wonderful atmosphere of the day, but I am sure it also spurred our girls on over those last few hundred meters of the event.

This incredible result now makes it two from two in terms of the Big 3 and the percentage cups/shields. Our girls now have their sights set on making it a clean sweep with Athletics on the last Thursday of Term 3. All girls are encouraged to attend training next term, which will be held on Monday afternoons at Bowden Park and at the college on Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Winter Sports – Pre-season Training

In all winter sports, we are still looking for a few more girls across each year level to make up teams.
