NSW PSSA Athletics

Congratulations to Alina Meers who jumped 4.78m in the 12 years Long Jump to finish 7th in NSW at PSSA Athletics. It was a great series of jumps by Alina and she progressed to the final eight in NSW out of a field of 40 girls. Alina was only two cm off her personal best and follows on from her Bronze medal at the NSW all schools Primary Challenge.

Alexia Coburn competed in the 10 years 800m and she left nothing on the track giving her best effort. While the race didn’t give Alexia the result she had hoped for, the CIS Team Managers commended her on her maturity and good grace after the race.

Badminton

The Kambala Badminton held their first training session at Badminson Worx, Botany. The girls had a hard session focusing on serving, skills, speed and agility under the tutelage of coaches Ethan Huang and Matthew Grafen. We look forward to seeing the team continue to improve their execution of skills and knowledge of the game.

Junior School Relay Invitational Swimming Carnival

The annual Kambala Relay Invitational was held last Friday evening at our Playfair Pool. The event saw our swimming team take on Ascham and Scots in a friendly but certainly competitive environment. 

Once again our school was well represented with a strong display of swimming as well as team spirit. When the girls were not competing they were encouraging their fellow teammates with plenty of gusto. 

Well done to all the girls for a fantastic evening and special thanks to Mark and Lauren from Tivoli Swim School for running such a smooth event and Genevieve and Anna from our Senior School for presenting the athletes with their ribbons. 

We look forward to hosting again next year!

IGSA Tennis travels to Frensham

Last Saturday two of our IGSA Tennis teams travelled to Frensham school Mittagong to play their matches. It was a very early start but the girls were able to rest on the bus ride down and were ready to hit the courts once we arrived!

Both teams played some outstanding tennis and won their matches well! We celebrated with a stop at McDonalds on the way home. 

Well done to Kambala 9 and Kambala 10 on a great morning of Tennis.

IGSA Water Polo Kambala 2 has a big win!

Last Saturday all of our Water Polo teams had their matches at St Catherine’s pool. Our Kambala 2 team had a big win against St Catherine’s 12-3. Our Senior A team had a 9-9 draw with KRB which was an outstanding effort after being down 6-1 at half time. Our Junior team had another tough game, however, they will be playing the teams better suited to them in the coming week’s which will be great. 

Well done to all of our Water Polo teams.
