Pink Round
On Saturday 2 August, School Sport Associations SAAS, SACSSGSA, and IGSSA united for a special PINK ROUND in support of Australians affected by breast cancer.
Players, officials, supervisors, and spectators proudly wore pink to raise awareness, spark important conversations around breast screening, and show support for the more than 20,000 women and men diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia each year.
It was fantastic to see so many of our families getting involved and embracing the pink spirit to support this important cause! 💗
Student Achievements
Congratulations to Grace C (Year 8) and Bronte P (Year 9) on their selection for the 15 Years and Under State Touch Football Team, a fantastic achievement! They will represent South Australia at the State Championships in Ballarat, Victoria, at the end of October. We wish them every success for this exciting opportunity.
In April this year Tilda P (Year 9) competed in the Under 16 Australian National Hockey Championships in Adelaide, where the South Australian team finished 7th out of 12 state teams. Following the championships, Tilda was selected for the South Australian School Sport Under 15 Hockey team. The team recently returned from a fantastic week of hockey in Canberra, where Tilda captained South Australia into the bronze medal match, ultimately finishing in a highly commendable 4th place. As a result of her outstanding performances throughout the week, Tilda has been selected for the Under 15 All-Australian team. Congratulations, Tilda!
We also congratulate Emily Miao, who proudly represented South Australia at the Badminton Yonex U15 Nationals in Launceston during the recent school holidays. Emily and the SA U15 team put in a fantastic performance, securing 4th place in the team event at this year’s national championships – a wonderful achievement!

Ned McHenry from media company Reel Talk is putting together a pump up video from the rehearsal.

Loreto Soccer
It’s been a strong start to the term for our soccer teams! Between our Year 3, Year 4 Blue, Year 4 Gold and Year 5/6 teams we are 8 wins from 8 matches.
There have been some close matches for our Year 5/6s, who beat St Ignatius 3-2 in Week 1 and then overcame Westminster in a thriller 2-1 last Friday. Well done to Amelia L who broke the 1-1 deadlock late in the second half!
Ms Edwards has organised some new soccer goals in the junior school play area. It’s been terrific to see some spirited recess and lunchtime matches – 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3 games are a great way for players to develop their skills.
SAPSASA Soccer
Well done to Grace-Marie H who represented the East Adelaide SAPSASA district at the State Carnival last week. Teams from all over South Australia were competing in the carnival at Gepps Cross. The East Adelaide team had a great week, finishing in 2nd place with 6 wins from their 8 matches.
AFLW
Our Year 4/5/6 football team started the term with a big win over St Ignatius, went down in a thriller to Pembroke the next week and then were given a football lesson by an impressive Scotch team last Tuesday. Some of our Year 4 and 5 players have been competing well against bigger opponents and it has been great to see our teamwork grow.
Well done, Ella C who kicked her first goal on Tuesday!
