On Tuesday & Wednesday next week we have a large number of students trialling to make the Met. North Track & Field team. This event is being held at the Qld Sport & Athletics Centre (QSAC) – Mt. Gravatt. We wish all these athletes' luck in their events and look forward to sharing the results in the next newsletter. Run fast, throw far, jump high and have fun!
Football
Our U14 girls football team played Ripley Valley SHS to wrap up an incredible ISSA Cup run.
The girls, most of whom are playing up an age group, were a force in their group and progressed into the knockout stages.
In the final game the girls did TGSHS proud by playing some fantastic football with high effort and displaying some excellent skills, however unfortunately they went down 3-0.
We are so proud of the girls' character and commitment.
Well done.
