Staff vs Students!

GSSC Inaugural Soccer Match

The inaugural staff vs student soccer match was played during lunch time last Friday 13th, with the whole school cheering on from the sidelines. It was a fantastic game with plenty of skills, team-work and sportsmanship shown. Campus Principal, Mr Sciacca, was in goals for the staff team and pulled off some great saves in the first half! The student team included representatives from every year level at McGuire, and was expertly captained by Jay Bryce. It was a hard-fought game with some robust tackles and both teams putting in 100%.

 

The staff team had plenty of chances but the student team came out the winners with a score of 5 – 1. Perhaps this was due to their superior fitness levels, constant substitutions or daily practice at recess and lunchtimes? But at the end of the day, both teams had a lot of fun and everyone playing and watching was smiling ear-to-ear. It was special to see the staff and student community come together to share some joy, fun and positivity in what has been an extremely challenging year for all. Thanks to everyone who helped make the event possible, including Dale Cuthbert and his year 10’s for setting up and Nikki Richardson’s photography students for capturing the event. Well done everyone! Who will win next year?
