Intermediate Round Robin

Over the past two weeks students from year 8, 9 and 10 have competed in the first winter round robin for 2016. Students have represented the College in soccer, badminton, netball and football. RSC have been very fortunate to have the support and commitment of our staff who have given up their lunchtimes to coach a team and support them at a round robin event.

Congratulations to the following teams who finished first in the ‘Maroondah Division’ and have progressed through to ‘Regionals’:

Intermediate: Boys Badminton, Boys and Girls Soccer

Year 8: Boys Badminton and Girls Soccer

Last Friday, May 13th RSC were overwhelmed with the high levels of participation from our boys netball teams across all age groups. The competition consisted of an all day round robin, which was held at Kilsyth Netball Complex. Teamwork, dedication and knowledge of the game were highlighted amongst the RSC teams as our ‘A’ grade teams successfully won across all age groups. Congratulations also to our junior ’B’ side who were undefeated against the opposition schools

Junior Girls Football

Last Friday, May 13th, Ms. B and Mr. Crawford joined forces to coach our Junior Girls Football Team. The girls were ready from the start, as they took on the opposition sides, ready for every contest, determined to take home the ‘Maroondah Division’ flag and that’s exactly what they did. Congratulations girls, your teachers are certainly proud of the enthusiasm, commitment and behaviour that each of you exhibited throughout the competition.

Cross Country

Best wishes to our cross-country runners, as they will be representing RSC at HE Parker this Monday.
