Good luck to our three St Mary’s teams who will be competing in the Peninsula Vicki Wilson Championships at Cairns Netball Association on Friday, 15 May. We wish all players the very best as they represent the College. A copy of the draw is available below.
StreetSmarts AFL Queensland Schools Cup
Congratulations to our Youth Boys and Girls AFL teams who recently competed in the StreetSmarts AFL Cup. Both teams displayed determination and resilience throughout the carnival, continuing to build confidence and refine their skills with each game.
A highlight of the day was our girls' team finishing on a strong note, securing a win against Redlynch State College in their final match.
A sincere thank you to Mr Podolczak for his efforts in training and preparing our teams, as well as coaching the girls' team; Mrs Marsh for her leadership and support as coach of the boys' team; and Mrs Tillett for her support on the day.
Bill Turner Cup
Last Friday, our Boys Soccer team represented St Mary’s at the Bill Turner Cup. Despite a challenging day of competition, the team demonstrated resilience and determination in a series of closely contested matches.
Thank you to Mr Haydon and Mr Lim for their guidance, expertise, and support of the team throughout the event.
