The Junior A Volleyball team placed second in the conference. They lost out to Marist Catholic College North Shore. The girls won the first set but unfortunately lost the second and third sets. Well done to all the girls and their coach Mrs. McWhirter.
Well done to both senior volleyball teams. The girls had never played competitively before and learned a lot of new skills. The senior volleyball team finished third in their conference.
Cricket
Both our Junior teams played really well throughout the Sydney league. The girls improved significantly during the seven weeks with both teams making it to a semi-final. Unfortunately, both teams were narrowly defeated in their semi-finals. A big thank you to their coach, Mr. Wilson who taught the girls how to bowl, field and wicket-keep.
Badminton
The Senior and Junior Badminton doubles teams took to Sydney Olympic Park on December 8th with their coach Mrs. Mabey. The girls had a great day and played with Brigidine Spirit. There were 24 schools from all over Sydney involved in the event organised by Badminton NSW. Six out of our seven teams won their group stages and progressed to the quarter-finals. Chloe Saputra and Megan Satya, one of our junior doubles, progressed to the semi-finals.
Thursday Sport 2023
In preparation for 2023, we have reviewed our approach to sport for Students in Years 9-11 and, in doing so, will allow students in these year groups the opportunity to engage with free-choice sports.
On Friday 9th December students and their families received a letter outlining these changes as well as the process for electing their sports in 2023.
In conjunction with free-choice sports, we will also have our Thursday Representative sport options running. Each Term, the girls will get the opportunity to sign up for a representative form, via a Google form that is sent out on week 3, of the prior term.
