We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievements of our students who recently competed at the World Cup Oztag tournament in Coffs Harbour. Competing against top-tier talent, our athletes represented their sides with outstanding dedication and sportsmanship.

In the Under 16 Girls division, Year 10 student Kasey R and Year 9 student Kiah B both represented the Indigenous Australian team, earning a fantastic 4th-place finish overall. Year 9 student Precious W also delivered a stellar performance for the Great Britain team, securing 2nd place. Rounding out an impressive tournament, one of our Year 12 students proudly took home 2nd place while representing the Under 18 Girls Indigenous Australian side.
