Sports 

With 2021 coming to a close and limited amount of sport completed in Semester 2, we look back at what was held and won this year and what is upcoming in 2022.

St John’s were able to win the SIS championship in both Senior Girls Soccer with Ms Marina Kintzel and Junior Boys Volleyball with Mr Mark Alexander which was a fantastic result. We also had numerous swimmers receive first, second and third ribbons in SIS Swimming including Emma Jorrissen who was picked to represent the SIS swim team. In cross country St John’s also claimed many great individual results and claimed the U/17 boys overall pennant.

The House Carnivals were also a big success in Semester 1.  For the Aquatics Carnival, Delphinus were once again champions in the pool.  Early in Term 2, Columba claimed a big Athletics Carnival win at Casey Fields.  Columba then followed up to win the House Cross Country for the first time ever, which helped them become overall House Champions.

On Thursday Years 8, 9 and 10 (of 2022) participated in the Sports Bonanza.  These sports included Soccer and Volleyball. These winning results will be the first points to go towards the 2022 House Champion.

Rita Lawrence (Leonis) was named Sports Person of the Year after a fantastic year claiming House Cross Country champion, House Athletics Champion and participating in SIS Soccer and SIS Netball. Well done Rita.

I would like to thank all teachers, staff and students who helped out in anyway for the running of both SIS events, House Carnivals or weekly sport.  I am truly grateful for the hard work you put in.  Special mention to my Sports Assistant Nathan Gard who did a tremendous job in a tough year.  I welcome Tyler Hall Ferguson in the role in 2022.
