ACC Cross Country Carnival

On Thursday 30 May our ACC Cross Country team of 72 students competed in the 2019 ACC Cross Country Carnival. I am pleased to announce that John XXIII finished third out of 74 schools. This result is a credit to our students and their commitment to training and school sport. I would especially like to acknowledge and thank the Years 11 and 12 team members who opted to sit their exams earlier in the day in order to compete in their race.

Each race had up to 444 students competing from the 74 schools. Our John XXIII team had several outstanding placings including:

• Owen Simpson 5th U13 Boys
• Karri Buchanan 10th U13 Girls
• Zoe Koong 9th U15 Girls
• Holly Cannon 8th U16 Girls
• Zoe Broderick 6th OPEN Girls
• Zac Thomas 5th OPEN Boys

NAS (Northern Associated School) Sport

This week all of the John XXIII College NAS teams had a bye and took part in an after school training session. The weather was not fantastic, however I was very impressed to see all our teams out training regardless of the rain. It was our senior teams turn for the after-training sausage sizzle which was enjoyed by all. I would like to thank Miss O’Donnell and Mr Thomas for assisting with the preparation and cooking. Next week all teams will compete against Sacred Heart College. We wish them the best of luck!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Aleksandr Bell (Year 12) who has been away in Brisbane, competing in the Australian World Swimming Trials.
