Netball Queensland Country Carnival

We extend our gratitude to the Mareeba Netball Association for providing this story, and congratulations to the students who took part in this competition!

Over the May Long weekend Mareeba Netball participated in the Queensland Country Carnival held in Townsville. 

Over 60 teams from regional Queensland (and one team from the Northern Territory) participated in the event. Mareeba Netball entered a team into both the 14U and 16U division. Each of our teams played a total of ten modified game over the two day carnival, ultimately winning five of their games.

Our teams played to the best of their ability, they should be proud of themselves and the way they represented Mareeba Netball. 

Mareeba Netball was represented by the following St Stephens students:

Mareeba Speedway

Earlier this month, Bray Taylor had a fantastic outcome in his first speedway race, securing third place in the Junior Sedan competition.

Bray has previously experienced success in go-kart racing, and before advancing to sedans, was ranked #1 in Queensland and #2 in Australia in the go-kart competition.

We look forward to hearing more about Bray’s journey as he continues to explore his passion for racing.

2025 Qld Golden Gloves Champions

Brothers Oliver and Austin Strickland showcased their incredible boxing skills at the statewide Golden Gloves event held in Townsville this year. Austin competed in the Juniors (15 to 16 years old), 71 to 75kg weight category (middleweight), and Oliver competed in the Juniors (15 to 16 years old), 63.5 to 67kg weight category (welterweight). Both Austin and Oliver won gold in their age and weight category for the weekend. They started competing last year and both boys have now had six bouts each. Austin has 5 wins, one loss, and Oliver has had 6 wins, no losses.

Both athletes have made our school proud as Golden Gloves Champions.

A special mention also to Thomas Gilbert who fought a division up in the Golden Gloves competition – which was a mighty effort.
