For over two decades, Study & Play USA has proudly supported young Australian athletes in securing scholarships to Colleges across the United States.
A key factor in successfully placing Australian student-athletes into U.S. universities is the development of well-rounded individuals. At St Mary’s, we take pride in offering our students opportunities to grow not only academically, but also personally and athletically.
We’re thrilled to share that Year 10 student Eloise has recently chosen to pursue this exciting pathway through Study & Play USA. We commend Eloise for embracing these opportunities and look forward to watching her journey unfold and supporting her every step of the way.
We are also excited about the opportunity to build a strong and lasting partnership with Study & Play USA—one that will benefit more of our students in the years to come.
Congratulations, Eloise!
Congratulations to Emma (Year 9) and Aiden (Year 10) who proudly represented Peninsula at the QLD School Sport Squash competition held in Brisbane last month. With around 150 talented players aged between 10 to 19 from across the region, the event was packed with skill, energy and fierce competition — and our students rose to the challenge!
Well done, Emma and Aiden on your fantastic efforts on the court!
Congratulations to Laen (Year 10), Mia, Blair (Year 12), Lacey (Year 12), Evie (Year 11), and Addison (Year 11), who proudly represented Peninsula at the QLD School Sport Hockey Championships. Laen and Mia competed in the 13–15 years age group. Blair, Lacey, Evie, and Addison played in the 16–19 years division.
We’re proud to share that both teams placed in the top 4—a fantastic achievement!
Well done to all on your hard work, teamwork, and dedication.
