Leader of Co Curricular

In a busy end to the year, we have experienced fantastic success in many sports. Term I sports came to a close with the college being represented in the finals with teams in water polo and touch football.

School Sport Australia News

Lachlan Brinckley attended the 2026 School Sport Australia National Triathlon and Aquathlon Championships, representing NSW in the Aquathlon.

The event was held over 5 days and included two team events which consisted of:

1. Senior Mens Aquathlon Run/Swim/Run - 3 individuals completing a leg each
2. Senior Mixed Aquathlon - 4 individuals completing both swim/run then tagging the next team mate.

Lachlan’s teams won both relay events.  

Lachlan also competed in 3 individual races (2 heats and 1 final), and finished the week of racing with the highest point score and placing 2nd in the final.

Swimming

The College sent a strong swimming team to the Conference and Sydney Championships. With many stand out performances, I am pleased to announce that we won the following TWO trophies:

• Boys Community Shield

• Girls Community Shield

   

I am also pleased to announce that it was the first year we have been able to enter a team in the All Age 6 x 50m Freestyle relay, with our girls team placing second at the Conference Championships. Our senior swimmers also repeated last year’s results by winning both the Open Boys and Open Girls 4 x 50m Freestyle relay. 

Congratulations to Kiani Johnson, who was crowned U16 Female Swimming Champion. I would also like to acknowledge both Kiani and Beau Griggs who are racing at the NSWCCC Swimming Championships, held at SOPAC.
