Netball

Wednesday, 18 September was the final SCSA sport event for the year.  The girls travelled to Waverley Netball Centre to compete in the Division 3 Netball tournament.  PCW had a strong showing with 5 of the 7 teams we entered making the grand finals.  Congratulations to both the senior teams who had success and won their grand finals!  A big shout to Charley Mau, who also celebrated her 18th birthday on the day, which was a fitting send off for our 2019 Sports Captain.

Congratulation to Tahlia Mullane, Ruby Munro and Sophie Kerr, who were all named MVP in their respective games.

Well done to all girls who competed so enthusiastically during the day.  Your teamwork, support and sportsmanship was a great reflection of the school and I thank you all for your involvement.  Thank you to Rachael Maddox, Lori Galli, Fleur White, Charley Mau, Fiona Camm, Rosie Harris and the three girls from Singapore for their help with coaching the teams.

Sportswomen's Night

On a balmy spring night in October,  150 people gathered at PCW’s Sports Hall to celebrate the sporting achievements of PCW’s students across the 2019 school year.  The annual Sportswomen’s Night was a brilliant evening that would not have come together without the assistance of staff, students, donors and members of the parents association.

With a huge amount of help from Rachael Maddox, Matt Zambon, Scott Brennan, Sandy Saundry, Kyran Kelly, Sports Leaders and our extremely talented Year 12 music group, the night was enjoyed by all with the decorations and food playing second fiddle to the wonderful sporting achievements of the students at PCW.

One of the highlights of the night was when our Master of Ceremonies, Charley Mau, hosted a brilliant interview with Maddie Garrick, our guest speaker.  The interview with Maddie, one of Australia’s most exciting female basketballers, was an inspiring one as Charley asked all the right questions.  Maddie has been such a great example for female athletes to follow  and has been an ambassador for several causes that promote increased and confident participation of females in sport, and the importance of having a healthy life balance.

Congratulations to those students who won awards and well done to all of the lucky raffle winners.  We managed to raise $336 through ticket sales, with the money raised going towards developing and providing a sport and health program for primary and secondary students in Theni, Southern India.  The amount raised will be donated to the school for support at their P-12 Presentation School for 2000 girls, and the AIDS Hospice for orphans, with the hope of improving health outcomes for all.
