Secondary Sports

QGSSSA Cross Country

The QGSSSA Cross Country Championships have been rescheduled to Saturday 4 June at John Paul College - Cec Munns Sports Centre. This delay gives our squad another three weeks to prepare for the event. All students in the current squad and any students who were not able to compete in the original event due to injury or illness are encouraged to attend as many training sessions as possible prior to this new date. 

So many of our students have gained significant improvements already in their running fitness and overall time, we would love to see these results continue to improve.  

The Cross Country training schedule will continue every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for the next two weeks with Friday 3 June being the new date for the compulsory team breakfast and team presentations.

Student spectators

As is traditional, each year level is assigned a Big 3 QGSSSA championship to attend, for Year 11 it is the Cross-country championships.  All Year 11 students who are not part of the team are expected to attend and support our girls, along with any other students who wish to attend. Full details of the rescheduled event for spectators will also be released in the coming week as it comes to hand. 

Students from other year levels may also attend as spectators, please just ensure your childs is on the supporter's list located on the Croc Board by Thursday 2 June. Please see the below letter for full event details.

Autumn Fixtures – Football and Touch

Our Touch and Football girls have a very busy last week of the season, with a number of teams playing two fixture games in the final week. 

This week we are scheduled to play the away round against Somerville House, and we finish off next week with rescheduled games early in the week against St Aidan’s and our final scheduled round against BSHS. This final round is also a new QGSSSA initiative round – The Indigenous round, as such there will be cultural presentations, face painting and a BBQ at each of the venues.

Volunteers required

If there are any parents who can assist with the cooking of the BBQ at either Touch – Shaw Park, or Football – Fursden Road fields, please email sport@clayfield.qld.edu.au to volunteer. It would be great to get 2 – 3 parents at each venue.

Any girls who still want to sign-up or swap their sport of choice should contact the Sports Department ASAP. After this coming week, teams need to be nominated with QG and as such, team lists will be finalised this week at training. 

We ask that all students who sign-up and have been selected into a team ensure that they can commit to the requirements of the sport. For the College to be competitive, we need ALL girls to attend all training sessions and games.
