Athletic Season Ends With EISM Championships
Students who performed well during the EISM Division 2 Athletics at the start of May were invited to the EISM Athletic Championships on Thursday 25 May at Lakeside stadium in Albert Park.
We were able to take a team of 12 students to the EISM Championships this year. Most students attending the Championships improved on their Personal Best Performance with some only just missing out on a medal by finishing in fourth position.
Congratulations to Ryder Holland (7.1) who won gold in the U/13 Boys 1500m and bronze in the 800m. Ryder also finished fourth in the U/13 Boys 400m. A great performance by Ryder on the day. Daniella Licina (8.5) received a silver medal for her performance in the U/14 Girls Shot Put. Congratulations to Daniella on a great performance.

House Cross Country
It was a great atmosphere during our House Cross Country on Tuesday 16 May when students took to the 3,000m and 4,000m course. In comfortably cool running weather, a great contest between the three Houses took place, with students who participated gaining points for their House.
The course, the same as last year, was mainly on the College grounds to utilise as much of the property as possible. The U/15, U/16 and Open Boys ran through the Teardrop car park at the start and the end of their race for the extra 1,000m. The rest of the participants ran the main course excluding the Teardrop car park.
Results:
| Place | House | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Gibeon Warriors (Red) | 997 |
| 2nd | Zion Crusaders (Blue) | 879 |
| 3rd | Tabor Trojans (White) | 736 |
Congratulations to Gibeon Warriors who took the Cross Country crown from Zion Crusader to be announced winners by 118 points.
